None of the minicomputer companies survived.
I had a PDP-8 (4K words of 12-bit core memory) that ran Focal, an
intrepretive language. I used it to simulate the throttle control and
propulsion system, including hull dynamics, of the 32,000 horsepower
LASH ships. I plotted the step responses on the Teletype. We showed it
to the owners and got the job.
Other engineers said that I couldn't use simple rectangular
integration, that I had to use some runga-kuta math or something. But
the elements of the control system were mostly unilateral, and simple
integration will even work in a circuit if the steps are small.
