The ICL 2900 Series was a range of mainframe computer systems announced by the UK manufacturer ICL on 9 October 1974. The company had started development, under the name "New Range" immediately on its formation in 1968. It was not designed to be compatible with any previous machines produced by the company, or with any competitor's machines: rather, it was conceived as a synthetic option combining the best ideas available from a variety of sources.

  • The ICL 2900 Series was a range of mainframe computer systems announced by the UK manufacturer ICL on 9 October 1974. The company had started development, under the name "New Range" immediately on its formation in 1968. It was not designed to be compatible with any previous machines produced by the company, or with any competitor's machines: rather, it was conceived as a synthetic option combining the best ideas available from a variety of sources. In marketing terms, the 2900 Series was superseded by Series 39 in the mid-1980s; however, Series 39 was essentially a new set of machines implementing the 2900 Series architecture, as were subsequent ICL machines branded "Trimetra".
