The PDP-11 series of computers run from 1971 to 1997 when DEC discontinued it, Mentec Inc. then bought the rights and produced PDP-11 processor for several years. Intel 4004 first CPU on a chip was produced in 1971 also. The T-11 (tiny) was produced in 1984, I think. Basically a stripped down version of the PDP-11 on a chip.
