Microdata Corporation was an American minicomputer company which created the Reality product line featuring the Pick operating system.

The initial version was designed to work on hardware produced by Microdata, which introduced the combination under the name Reality in 1974.

Since the software part of Reality was based on public domain work, Pick considered himself free to develop versions for other systems.

The unique feature of the early Microdata processors was that the microcode was accessible to the user and allowed the creation of custom assembler level instructions.

It was designed to a more specific purpose, but still retained a great deal of flexibility in the firmware to allow for very complex microprogrammed architectures to be supported.
