minicomputers also provided general-purpose registers (called "accumulators" in the Nova and Eclipse), rather than separate accumulators and index registers, as did their Eclipse MV and VAX 32-bit superminicomputer successors. In the PDP-11 and VAX, any register could be used when calculating the memory address of an operand; in the Nova, Eclipse, and Eclipse MV, only registers 2
