"At the end of 70s a typical CAD system was a 16-bit minicomputer with maximum of 512 Kb memory and 20 to 300 Mb disk storage at a price of 125,000 USD."

Also, I didn't see any reference to MacDonnell Douglas GDS system. Another firm I worked for had a cadd product called "System 2".
I wonder how many other systems were developed and not listed on this history?
