: Tim, wasn't the 432 also ADA Microcoded? -Steve

I don't think so. Ada was a main part of it, but not for the
microcode. The Ada compiler, circa 1980-81 were developed by a
Hillsboro, Oregon team, and was one of the earliest Ada compilers.

(Programmers from Siemens came in around 1984-5 for the Gemini effort
and did much of the Ada development.)
