Many more machines offered user-programmable writable control stores as an option ( including the HP 2100, DEC PDP-11 / 60 and Varian Data Machines V-70 series minicomputers ).

Their PDP series of machines became popular in the 1960s, especially the PDP-8, widely considered to be the first successful minicomputer.

However, by this time other machines in DEC's lineup could fill the same niche at even lower price points, and the PDP-15 would be the last of the 18-bit series.

Mature versions of the Commodore, SWTPC, Atari and Apple home computer systems all featured a disk operating system ( actually called ' DOS ' in the case of the Commodore 64 ( CBM DOS ), Atari 800 ( Atari DOS ), and Apple II machines ( Apple DOS )), as did ( at the other end of the hardware spectrum, and much earlier ) IBM's System / 360, 370 and ( later ) 390 series of mainframes ( e. g., DOS / 360: Disk Operating System / 360 and DOS / VSE: Disk Operating System / Virtual Storage Extended ).

Further improvements in the line followed in 1970 / 1 with a pair of machines that replaced the Nova / SuperNOVA, the Nova 1200 and Nova 800 series.

Notable exceptions include IBM mainframes, which support IBM's own format ( in addition to the IEEE 754 binary and decimal formats ), and Cray vector machines, where the T90 series had an IEEE version, but the SV1 still uses Cray floating-point format.

The I / O architecture of the 20xx series KL machines was based on a new DEC bus design called the MASSbus.

These machines replaced Apple's Quadra series of personal computers, and were housed in cases very similar to systems sold by Apple up to that point.

The ROM and Mac OS operating system released with the new Power Mac machines included an Mac 68K emulator to enable programs written for Motorola 68k series CPUs, including nearly all prior Mac software, to run without changes.

They were first used in a new series of HP 3000 machines in the late 1980s – the 930 and 950, commonly known at the time as Spectrum systems, the name given to them in the development labs.

The PowerBook 500 series was released as Apple was already moving its desktop machines to the PowerPC processor range, and a future upgrade was promised from the start.
