Description
In 1978, NEC announced the NEAC MS Series. It employed a revolutionary architecture for a minicomputer, with features like Japan's first directly addressable 2 megabyte (1 megaword) memory, and was developed as Japan's first true processor for distributed processing. Together with the NCOS1 operating system, which was ideal for networked online processing, this series enabled applications in the distributed processing field, as well as in the communication network control and industrial control fields.
