• Those are cheaper and slower computers with significant computing power.
• Such computers basically use Intel Chipsets.
• They are mostly single processor systems which supports basic application like WP, ESS, DBMS, etc.
• Examples of such computers are PS 386, PS 486, PENTIUM (P - I, II, III, IV), etc.
Mini Computer :
When the term "minicomputer" initially was coined it denoted a physically small, low-cost computer using available technology and designed to perform a specific function. Usage of these devices was limited mainly to the laboratory, certain process-dependent industrial tasks, and special-purpose computational problems. Today, the minicomputer is no longer limited to such systems. However, not all computing specialists, library systems analysts, and librarians realize that the situation is rapidly changing and will continue to do so. Sometimes the feelings one experiences when discussing mini- computers, particularly as independent processors, may be conveyed by the following verse : Automation Is Vexation, Quarternions are bad; Analysis Situs Is only detritus I wonder: Have I been had? 1 The misconceptions which were based on the qualities of minicomputers until the last few years were: 1. slow instruction execution time and cycle time, 2. small memory with lack of expansion, 3. lack of peripheral equipment, 4. lack of peripheral device interfaces, 5. low reliability and unsatisfactory maintenance services, 6. poor programming instruction sets, 7. lack of vendor-supplied software, 8. greater programming difficulty, 9. lack of character addressability, 10. lack of hardware multiply and divide, and 1 1 . image as front-end processors requiring large host computers for file updating and output processing. This paper seeks to dispel these misconceptions in the broad sense, although one can see that individual minicomputers have specific strengths and weaknesses dependent upon the end application use. The minicomputers considered here are machines available currently and developed in the last two to three years.
It is a computer whose CPU is a micro processor.& a micro processor is a processor whose all components are on a single integrated circuit chip.

what was the first microcomputer called.
The microcomputer is generally known as a PC.
the first microcomputer is the altair 8080....but the first commercially available microcomputer is the apple II produce by the Intel Corp......=)
What are the functions of microcomputer operating system?
Microcomputer Applications Associates was created in 1972.
the IC that is organized as a single-chip microprocessor contains only CPU without the other peripherals like ROM, RAM, and I/O ports that comprise a microcomputer, while the single-chip microcomputer is the chip that contains all the components that give the capabilities of the microcomputer.
Microcomputer specialist is responsible for identifying problem in microcomputer software and hardware. Microcomputer specialist determines which software is necessary for the device based on user needs and then installs that software.
The definition of a microcomputer is a computer that works in scale that is lesser than the traditional desktop machine. A microcomputer will contain all of the integral working parts of a normal computer but without the same physical framework. An example of a microcomputer is the Commodore 64.
