Hardware/Turnkey days

At one point, alluded to in the "Early days" section, the company also delivered hardware/software combinations. A typical Turnkey configuration was a PDP-8a.

This part of their business was well before their SB-5 offering.

I only found one reference to the hardware side of BCC, and it didn't mention PDP-8 or the word turnkey; in fact it made them look like a hardware integrator without a software side. Pi314m (talk) 04:28, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

and beyond

That AIP not only considered BCC but that fact got coverage in an industry periodical may not be NYTimes level of notability, but it is notable, and I included this in edits I made since the article was HatNoted. The AIP minutes mention a UNIVAC, so the fact that back then (pre-Open-xxx) they considered non-Unisys hardware is interesting. Pi314m (talk) 04:28, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

a bit more re notability

Wikipedia's Notability (organizations and companies) guideline says:

An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it.

While most citations are from Computerworld, it's not the only coverage cited. Pi314m (talk) 04:43, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
