Minicomputer is a largely obsolete term for a class of multi-user computers which make up the middle range of the computing spectrum, in between the largest multi-user systems (mainframe computers) and the smallest single-user systems (microcomputers or personal computers).
The term evolved in the 1960s to describe the "small" third generation computers that became possible with the use of transistor and core memory technologies.
The classical mini was a 16-bit computer, while the emerging higher performance 32-bit minis were often referred to as superminis.
