DECmate I <computer> The first in {DEC}'s series of miniaturised {PDP-8} computers based on the {Intersil 6120} [Harris 6120?] {microprocessor} and dedicated to {wordprocessing}. The DECmate was DEC's original competition for the {IBM PC}. The DECmate I was introduced in 1980 as the successor to the {WT78}. The processor ran at 10 MHz, and was housed in a {VT100} {CRT} terminal. It was a very limted model, no {EAE} option was available, memory was 32 Kwords. It used the RX02 8" dual floppy drive. Options were the DP278-A and -B communication ports and RL278: 1 to 4 {RL02} {cartridge disk} drives. (http://telnet.hu/hamster/dr/decmate.html). [Processor manufacturer?] (2003-05-29)
