Does anyone have any information on the CDC 8600? I saw a picture of it recently. About all I know is it was built around 1973, was an N-gon type shape (about the same size as a Cray-3, but with more sides). And the modules were quite large (approximately 3" x 8" x 5"). I also heard it didn't work. That's why it was never put into production. Any info on architecture, instruction set, chip type, clock times or memory would be nice. -- ------------- Michael Tighe internet: mjt@super.org uunet: ...!uunet!super!mjt
