'''Data General''' (often abbreviated as '''DG''') was one of the leading second-generation [[minicomputer]] manufacturers, which was founded in 1968 by several alumni of [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]], who allegedly left DEC in part because DEC management rejected their design for what became the [[PDP-11]].

Their first product was the [[Data General Nova]], a 16-bit minicomputer, which went through several generations, including the [[Data General Nova 3]].

It was followed by the [[Data General Eclipse]], another 16-bit machine, very similar to the Nova, but one which had [[memory management]].

DG then stepped up to 32-bit machines with the [[Data General Eclipse MV/8000]], which was a success, but a little too late for DG, which was about to be overtaken by the rise of [[microcomputer]]s.
