GE100

Mini-computer

GE200

Computer in size between Ge100 and GE400 series.

GE600

This was the large mainframe series.

GEC 2050

The GEC 2050 was an 8-bit minicomputer produced during the 1970s, initially by Marconi Elliott Computer Systems of the UK, before the company renamed itself GEC Computers Limited. The first models…

GEC 4060

The 4060 replaced the 4070 as the entry level processor. It used 4 AMD 2900 bit-slice processors (4 bits wide each) as its main CPU, microprogrammed to run the 4080 instruction set. The 4060 also…

GEC 4060M

Ruggedised and minaturized version of the 4060 for defense use.

GEC 4062

The 4062 was a varient of the 4060 which supported 1Mb of store, either core or mixed core/semi-conductor.

GEC 4065

The 4065 is a 4060 which could support 1Mb of semi-conductor memory.

GEC 4070

The 4070 was introduced as a poor man's version of the 4082. Core store was slow, and to gain performance, the 4080/4082 could interleave store accesses, i.e. it could perform simultaneous access…

GEC 4080

The 4080 is the original 4000 series processor. A 4080 system could support up to 256kb of core store, although this would have been an unthinkable amount when the system was developed - the first…

GEC 4080M

Ruggedised and minaturized version of the 4080 for defense use.

GEC 4082

The 4082 is a 4080 with 2 extra store address lines, so it can support 1Mb of core store. However, the BMC was still limited to accessing only the bottom 256kb of store. This was not a serious…

GEC 4085

The 4085 is a 4082 with semi-conductor store, making it faster than the 4082. The new semi-conductor store could also be used to add semi-conductor memory to existing 4082 core memory systems.

GEC 4090

The 4090 was the first processor which significantly extended the 4080's original instruction set. The processor was a 32bit processor based on 8 AMD 2900 bit slice processors, and was the first…

GEC 4150

The 4150 is a 4160 with fewer card slots in a desktop case. A CDC LARK disc mechanism was available in a matching case.

GEC 4151

The 4151 is a 4150 designed for mounting in a customer-provided 19" rack.

GEC 4160

The 4160 was an update to the 4065 microprogram to include the additional instructions added to the 4090. These were mostly 32bit instructions, but as the 4160 remained a 16bit processor at the…

GEC 4162

The 4162 was a modification to the 4160 to allow DMAD type I/O processors to be fitted for high speed comms controllers.

GEC 4180

The 4180 was a 4190 with the fast multiplier board and the memory cache removed. This made the system slightly cheaper, but more significantly, enabled it to be sold into countries where export of…

GEC 4185

The 4185 was a 4195 with the fast multiplier board and the memory cache removed (like 4180/4190 comparison).

GEC 4190

The 4190 was basically a hardware tidy up of the 4090. The old 4082/4085 external memory crates for a 4Mb 4090 system required several 6 foot tall 19" racks, and this was all replaced with…

GEC 4190D

The 4190D was a dual processor 4190. Only one was ever sold.

GEC 4193

The 4193 was similar to the 4195, but the FMC was swapped for a SCSI I/O processor instead.

GEC 4195

The 4195 was a 4190 with the FMC included in the CPU crate, which reduced the physical size of the system. It had fewer memory slots (but larger memory boards meant it could still take the full…

GEC 4220

The 4220 was a significant hardware change from the 41xx range, although the instruction set remained unchanged. The processor was implemented using Gate Array technology on a single board. The…

GEC 4230

The 4230 was a dual processor version of the 4220. None were ever sold, although it worked well in-house.

GEC 4310

The 4310 was another significant hardware change. The 4310 uses Motorola's MVME187 88100 based VME system, and runs a 4000 series instruction interpretor. Systems are available in 19" rack…

GEC Series 63

The GEC Series 63 was a 32-bit minicomputer produced by GEC Computers Limited of the UK during the 1980s in conjunction with A.B. Dick in USA. During development, the computer was known as the R…
