Two meanings of "System Building Block" (SBB)

In 1983 the the term "System Building Block" was reused for basic computer system configurations including the CPU, memory and an operating system license. Not included were system devices, load devices, communications interfaces, console terminal, and application software. We need a disambiguation page here. Vaxorcist (talk) 08:10, 2 March 2024 (CET)

Hmmm. The "Digital Dictionary" doesn't include the later one; maybe that use post-dates that volume? The StorageWorks Family User's Guide and StorageWorks Solutions Configuration Guide both give 'SBB' as an expansion for "StorageWorks building blocks"; the BA350-SA Modular Storage Shelf User's Guide does have the "system building blocks" expansion.

I did a Web search for "System Building Block" DEC, and almost all the hits were for the earlier meaning.

Nothing links to system building block (or any variant capitalization of it), so if we want to put a disambiguation page there, that would be easy. Jnc (talk) 23:29, 2 March 2024 (CET)
