This 16-bit minicomputer was released by the American company Data General in 1969 and was very popular in science laboratories around the world and ultimately sold tens of thousands of units. The 32K Nova was packaged into a single 3U 19" rack-mount² case 5.25 inches high, it consumed 400 watts, and was introduced at a modest price of $3995(1K core memory³ option) during a period of rapid progress in integrated circuit design. The Data General sales brochure advertised it as "the best small computer in the world".
