Digital on board computer

In the late 60 a major computer manufacturer prototyped a miniaturized version of one of its products dedicated to real time process control. The original beast was bigger than an american fridge, while the prototype and its memory were as small as two shoe boxes.

It was proposed to the Concorde project, but never seriously considered.
