Data General introduced three minicomputers.

The firm’s fastest new product, the Eclipse DV-20000 Model 2, can perform 10 million operations per second, making it the fastest super-minicomputer on the market and more powerful than some mainframes made by IBM. The Model 2 is a dual-processor version of the new Model 1, which runs at 5.5 million instructions per second. Data General also introduced a slower, cheaper minicomputer, the Eclipse MV-2000 DC, which it said can process 900,000 instructions per second.
