'''-{Digital Equipment Corporation}-''' je bila najnaprednija [[SAD|američka]] kompanija u oblasti [[računar]]ske industrije. Unutar industrije je bila poznata pod skraćenicom '''-{DEC}-'''. (Ovu skraćenicu je svojevremeno koristio i sam -{Digital}-,<ref>-{"DEC used by Digital itself:" ''PDP11 Processor Handbook'' (1973): pp. 8, "DEC, PDP, UNIBUS are registered trademarks of Digital Equipment Corporation;" pp. 1-4}-</ref> ali je službeno ime uvijek bilo -{DIGITAL}-.) Njeni PDP i VAX modeli su po mišljenju mnogih bili najpopularniji mini-računari u naučnoj i inženjerskoj zajednici [[1970e|1970-ih]] i [[1980e|1980-ih]].<ref name="isbn1-57675-225-9">{{Cite book |authorauthor1= Michael Sonduck; |author2=Schein, Edgar H.; |author3=Paul J.
