LINC (Laboratory INstrument Computer) is one of DEC's earliest computers, and is a partial descendant of MIT's [[Whirlwind]] through the TX-2's use to develop LINCTape. LINCTape is a very reliable system, but was needed for its system to operate, and is hard to type on. Several DEC systems are descended from LINC: PDP-4, PDP-5, LINC-8, PDP-11 and PDP-12. LINC's design is entirely in the Public Domain. | LINC (Laboratory INstrument Computer) is one of DEC's earliest computers, and is a partial descendant of MIT's [[Whirlwind]] through the TX-2's use to develop LINCTape.
