NCR offers pen-based computer

Article Abstract:

NCR Corp plans to announce its NCR 3125 pen-based portable computer at the 1991 PC Expo trade show. The new portable computer will not have a keyboard but will receive instructions from a stylus that will input data on a special display screen. Industry observers believe that the pen-based computer will open up a new market for computing because it will make it possible to put a computer in the hands of just about every worker. The new NCR pen-based computer will be available in Aug 1991 in limited quantities. The computer, which will initially lack any pen-based operating system, is designed to work with Microsoft Corp's Windows for Pen Computing and Go Corp's Penpoint operating systems; the two operating systems not be available until the end of 1991.

Fastest PC is poised to enter a market in flux

Article Abstract:

DEC will introduce the DEC PC AXP 150, its Alpha AXP-based microcomputer on May 25, 1993, a day after Microsoft formally introduces its Windows NT operating system. The DEC PC, which runs at twice the speed of Intel's Pentium, is designed to exploit the full capabilities of the NT software. DEC engineers have been working closely with Microsoft's NT development team for two years. DEC's $100 million investment in Alpha AXP chip development is a big gamble for a company which ranks seventh in the computer marketplace and which lost $2.8 billion in 1992. DEC officials are confident, however, that Alpha-based machines will be the hardware of choice for NT users.

New Digital computer uses standard design

Article Abstract:

Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) introduces Application DEC, a computer for small businesses. The machine is based on Intel's powerful 80486 microprocessor and uses the Unix operating system. It has a base price of $17,500, and a version that contains six Intel processors will cost $75,000. DEC was careful to use industry standards in designing its new computer so that it will be compatible with other computers and software. In the past, DEC's unwillingness to develop products compatible with industry standards has put the company at odds with some customers.
