Midrange computers, or midrange systems, were a class of computer systems that fell in between mainframe computers and microcomputers.[1][failed verification]
This class of machine emerged in the 1960s, with models from Digital Equipment Corporation (PDP lines), Data General (NOVA), and Hewlett-Packard (HP 2100 and HP 3000) widely used in science and research as well as for business - and referred to as minicomputers.[2][disputed – discuss]
IBM favored the term "midrange computer" for their comparable, but more business-oriented systems.[3]
