The PDP-11 was a series of 16-bit minicomputers sold by Digital Equipment Corp. in the 1970s and 1980s. The PDP-11 was a successor to DEC's PDP-8 computer in the PDP series of computers. It had several uniquely innovative features, and was easier to program than its predecessors. It was well-liked by programmers, and it was replaced in the mid-range minicomputer niche by the VAX-11 32-bit extension of the PDP-11. Much of the market for both machines would be taken by personal computers, including the IBM PC and Apple II, and workstations, such as those from Sun Microsystems.
