Prime Computer (often spelled PR1ME, as a marketing gimmick) was a builder of high-end minicomputers (with virtual memory), and later superminis, which came with an operating system inspired by Multics (on which several of the founders of Prime had worked) - although the system, PRIMOS, was written in FORTRAN!
The first product - the Prime 200 - was a clone of the Honeywell 516.
