	Doug Jones's CDC 160 Index (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The CDC 160 computer, introduced in 1960 was the first truly small computer to hit the market.
		The CDC 160 was sufficiently successful that CDC followed with the 160A and the 8092.
		The base configuration for a CDC 160A cost $110,000 (as remembered by George R. Gonzalez); this gave you the CPU, minimal memory, high-speed paper-tape reader, medium speed punch, and a flexowriter.

	Control Data Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CDC was one of the eight major computer companies through most of the 1960s; along with CDC these were IBM, Burroughs, NCR, General Electric, Honeywell, RCA, and UNIVAC.
		CDC decided to fight back, but Norris agreed with Cray in thinking that the company had become too ossified to be able to quickly design anything competitive.
		By the early 1990s CDC was a major player in the hard drive market, their Wren series drives were particularly popular for "high end" users.

	CDC 6600 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CDC 6600 was a mainframe computer from Control Data Corporation, first manufactured in 1965.
		CDC's first products were based on the machines designed at ERA, which Seymour Cray had been asked to update after moving to CDC.
		The machines were based on the simple 12-bit CDC 160A, which ran much slower than the CPU, gathering up data and "squirting" it into main memory at high speed via dedicated hardware.

		The CDC 7600 was the Seymour Cray-designed successor to the CDC 6600, extending Control Data's dominance of the supercomputer field into the 1970s.
		From the period from about 1969 to 1975, the CDC 7600 was generally regarded as the fastest computer in the world at the time excepting specialized units.
		The successor CDC 8600 was never completed, and Seymour Cray went on to form his own company, Cray Research.

		Also, the feasibility of the CDC 160A has been established as an initial basis for our experimental work, and the basic plan for the communication equipment (display, light-pen, keysets, pushbuttons) and its initial layout into a flexible experimental station has been accomplished.
		With a minimum of equipment (five key binary keysets, CDC 160A computer) enough work could be done to generate significant results for publication for both the binary communications means and the physical skill teaching schemes.
		Input to the 160A would be through a typewriter in conjunction with a high-speed paper tape punch.

	CDC 6600
		With sales of their other machines doing well, Control Data allowed Cray as much time as he liked to build his next design.
		To handle the 'household' tasks which other designs put in the CPU, Cray included in the 6600 ten other processors, based partly on his earlier computer, the CDC 160A.
		When the main CPU needed to perform some sort of I/O, it instead loaded a small program into one of these other machines.

	Re: Seymour Cray vs. software in CDC's early days
		When I worked for CDC there was a computer that was built into a desk called the 160A.
		Having worked with the 160A and the later 8090 computers I was impressed with the design and how well it worked over all.
		CDC sold many of these little guys over the years.

		The time to run any particular instruction is no faster, but the program as a whole moves through the system more quickly as the instructions are cued up.
		Unlike the 8600's "put four 7600s in a box" solution to the speed problem, the STAR was a new design using a technique we know today as a vector processor.
		But by this time Cray's own designs like the Cray-1 were using the same design techniques as the STAR, yet doing it much faster due to various design details.

		Even though it sold for about $500,000 fully equipped, the CDC 160A might be considered one of the first “personal computers.” It first owned by the U.S. Air Force and was later acquired as a behavioral science tool by Dr. Karl Smith at the University of Wisconsin Behavioral Cybernetics laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin.
		About forty 7600 computers were eventually sold before CDC replaced the 7600 with the CYBER series.
		The 8600 featured multiplayer boards similar to those later used in the Cray-2 system, The 8600 had pins in the Z-plane, that is, vertically from board to board; it was the first CDC machine to use an 8-bit ASCII code and a 64-bit word.

		Had my turn to address the whole group (50 or so people); not much reaction, but I do remember the group hoot when I said that we'd all be seeking to boost response time for many man-computer interactions down to at least a quarter of a second before the returns began to diminish.
