Show affiliationsThe problems are discussed of selecting and implementing a minicomputer system, with particular reference to the key stages in the various decision making processes involved. Following a brief description of a typical minicomputer, the range and purpose of the various system inputs and outputs is presented. This leads to discusson of: the function of the system; the type of equipment required to implement that function; the class of minicomputer suited to that requirement; the type of system which should be purchased-i.e. in terms of hardware, software, systems support- with special reference to the individual responsibilities of user and supplier; criteria affecting the choice of supplier; and the particular items of software and hardware which should be bought.
