1978年将作为日本计算机工业成为世界市场上认真对待的一种力量的一年载入史册。经过20年的大力发展之后,日本几家主要的主机制造厂商于1978年1月展示了世界上最大、最快的计算机系统。在IBM公司作出反应之前,富士通公司和日立公司又于9月宣布他们不久会有能性更高的系统。 当然,IBM公司最终作出了反应。今年一月末,该公司宣布了E系列计算机的第一批样机——可能大大降低硬件价格和大大提高磁盘记录能力的处理机。但是,无论IBM怎样宣传,也否认不了日本的飞跃发展。自从五十年代IBM第一次超过Univac、接着
In 1978, it was recorded as a year in which the Japanese computer industry became a serious force on the world market. After 20 years of intensive development, several of Japan's major host manufacturers showed in January 1978 the world's largest and fastest computer system. Before IBM responded, Fujitsu and Hitachi announced in September that they would soon have a more capable system. Of course, IBM eventually reacted. In late January, the company announced the first prototypes of its E-Series computers - processors that could significantly reduce hardware costs and greatly increase disk-recording capabilities. However, no matter how IBM publicizes, it can not deny Japan's rapid development. IBM first surpassed Univac since the fifties, and then
