			Well, the SDS Sigma was considered a mainframe[http://www.andrews.edu/~calkins/profess/SDSigma7.htm#CH3][http://www.chem.cmu.edu/about/news/about-news-200206-sigma.html], and I believe the NORD-5 has mostly been referred to as ".. [one of the] first 32-bit '''minicomputers'''". The error has been more in that apparently it was common to refer to the VAX 11/780 from 1977 being the first 32-bit minicomputer, which is definitely wrong. These days that claim seem to have gone, or maybe it's just that the vast majority of sources these days are basically a simple cut and paste from Wikipedia (which doesn't include that particular claim).
