A minicomputer made by Digital Equipment Corporation from 1970. It was widely used in labs and universities, and Unix was developed on it.

Tom DeFanti at EVL took that machine, added memory and a keyboard, and ported his GRASS language from the PDP-11 to create Zgrass, named for its Z80 processor.
