PDP-20
The most famous computer that never was. {PDP-10} computers
running the {TOPS-10} operating system were labelled
"DECsystem-10" as a way of differentiating them from the
{PDP-11}. Later on, those systems running {TOPS-20} were
labelled "DECSYSTEM-20" (the block capitals being the result
of a lawsuit brought against DEC by Singer, which once made a
computer called "system-10"), but contrary to popular lore
there was never a "PDP-20"; the only difference between a 10
and a 20 was the {operating system} and the colour of the
paint. Most (but not all) machines sold to run {TOPS-10} were
painted "Basil Blue", whereas most TOPS-20 machines were
painted "Chinese Red" (often mistakenly called orange).
