A couple years ago, some people at the Academic Computing Center of the University of Washington were playing with the idea of a microprocessor which would emulate a Cyber 170, which is a 60-bit machine. I am not certain whether the microprocessor would actually have had 60 bits internally, or whether this might have been emulated (by stringing together registers, for instance). Nor do I know what became of this project. Anyone at UW know? -- Mike Maxwell Boeing Advanced Technology Center ...uw-beaver!uw-june!bcsaic!michaelm
