This "Company Confidential" document, published by Digital in January 1980, is a "Large Systems Product Summary" for their DECsystem-10 and DECSYSTEM-20 product lines.

The summary is divided into five main sections:

1. Policies and Procedures: Covers installation, cable requirements, lease rates, refurbished equipment, foreign attachments, and discount agreements. It also details an "Automatic Quotation System Program" for sales support to price and configure systems.
2. TOPS-10 Basic Systems (DECsystem-1090, -1091): Details hardware configurations, options, and rules including central processors, memory modules (MH10, MB20, MF20), disk (RP06) and tape (TU45, TU77, TU72) subsystems, line printers (LP100), card/paper tape equipment, and communication front-ends (DN20, DN200). It also covers SMP (Symmetrical Multi-Processing) upgrades.
3. TOPS-20 Basic Systems (DECSYSTEM-2020, -2040, -2060): Presents similar detailed information for the DECSYSTEM-20 family, including memory (MS10, MF20), disk (RM03, RP06) and tape subsystems, line printers (LP20, LP200), communication interfaces (DN20, DZ11, DN22), and upgrade policies.
4. Additional Equipment and Information: Provides details on Field Service pricing (including extended coverage options), comprehensive cable specifications for various interfaces, miscellaneous hardware options, and a list of available terminals (DECwriter and VT series).
5.
