| | UNIVAC Memories |
 | | This document is an ever growing collection of memorabilia, contemporary documents, and anecdotes recounting the history of UNIVAC 1100 series mainframes. |
 | | The first computer I ever used was a UNIVAC 1107, and for more than a decade stretching from 1967 through 1978, most of my programming was oriented toward those machines, spanning four generations of hardware: the 1107, 1108, 1110, and 1100/80 (which I used briefly to develop microprocessor software). |
 | | In 1971, John Walker figured out how to convert a multi-million dollar room-sized UNIVAC 1108 mainframe into a Morse code practice oscillator with a stand-alone, bootable operating system dedicated to that dubious application. |
