IMP varieties

More IMP varieties? 316, Pluribus, C30. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 06:38, 16 March 2018 (CET)

As in, I should say more about them? :-) Jnc (talk) 14:45, 16 March 2018 (CET)

Not necessarily. It's just that current text makes it sound like the 516 IMP was the only model. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 14:52, 16 March 2018 (CET)

Huh? "Later, other similar minicomputers were also used." Jnc (talk) 15:24, 16 March 2018 (CET)

Sorry, I missed that! Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 15:57 16 March 2018 (CET)

Eh, no biggie. It's not that clear, so I'll add a bit of detail. Jnc (talk) 16:06, 16 March 2018 (CET)

I was under the impression that IBM RTs ( weird old RISC ) served as a IMB, but apparently they predated IMPs,

"The National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) was the forerunner of the Internet. From July 1988 to November 1992, the NSFNET's T1 backbone network used routers built from multiple RT PCs (typically nine) interconnect by a Token Ring LAN."
