ETA

In August 1983, ETA had been spun off from CDC to develop and market the ETA-10, a natural follow-on of the modestly successful CYBER 205 line of computers. The reason for the establishment of ETA was to insulate from the rest of CDC the ETA development team and its very large demands for finances. This was both to allow ETA to do its job and to protect CDC from an arbitrary drain of resources.

The ETA machine was a natural extension of the CYBER 205 architecture. The primary architect was the same individual, and much of the development team was the same team, that had been involved in the development of the CYBER 205.
