	UNIVAC 1108 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UNIVAC 1108 was the second member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in 1964.
		Integrated circuits replaced the thin film memory that the UNIVAC 1107 used for register storage.
		Just as the first UNIVAC 1108 systems were being delivered in 1965, Sperry Rand announced the UNIVAC 1108 II (also known as the UNIVAC 1108A) which had support for multiprocessing: up to three CPUs, four memory banks totaling 262,144 words, and two independent programmable input/output controllers (IOCs).

	UNIVAC Memories
		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).
		Programmers of UNIVAC 1100 mainframes in the 1960's through the mid 1970's exalted in discovering clever ways to squeeze the most out of machines which, by today's standards, would be considered hopelessly slow and short of memory.
		UNIVAC has been, over the years, a registered trademark of Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation, Remington Rand Corporation, Sperry Rand Corporation, Sperry Corporation, and Unisys Corporation.

		Sperry Rand announced the UNIVAC 1108 in the summer of 1964 and delivered the first one in late 1965.
		The 1108 hardware had two base registers, so that all program addressing was done relative to the values in the base registers.
		Seaquist said he "fell in love with the 1108." He liked the fact that batch and time-sharing (which was called "demand" processing on the 1108) used the same commands in the Executive Control Language (ECL), and that the consistency of ECL made it easy to compile and test programs.

	GSA retires its vintage Univac
		The 20-year-old Sperry Univac mainframe that ran the leasing information system was breaking down often and costing $12 million a year to maintain.
		The agency had used one or another Univac system since the early 1970s to run lease software originally written for the Univac 1108.
		Databases for the lease information system were written in Data Management Language, which he called "the last surviving little dinosaur." Agents used DML to access the databases that ran on the Computer Sciences Teleprocessing System, which resided on the Univac.

		Univac 1108 with 256k 36 bit words of main memory
		During the period from 1970 to 1973 the single 1108 ran all of the academic and administrative jobs concurrently.
		In 1973 the administrative jobs were run on the 1106 and only academic jobs ran on the 1108.

		At my summer 1974 job at Giffel's Associates, one of the primary computers in use was a Univac 1108 running the EXEC-8 operating system.
		The 1108 used drum storage, and was almost certainly the only computer I ever used that had that type of mass storage.
		The sophistication and efficiency of the 1108 and the EXEC-8 operating system was ahead of its time (I admit my opinion is biased).

	UNIVAC 1106 -[ruv.net : Information Portal]-
		The UNIVAC 1106 was the third member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in December 1969 and was absolutely identical to the UNIVAC 1108 in instruction set.
		Early versions of the UNIVAC 1106 were simply half speed UNIVAC 1108 systems.
		Later Sperry Rand used a different memory system which was inherently slower and cheaper than that of the UNIVAC 1108.

	Lisp 1.5 for the Univac 1100 Home Page
		This first LISP system was used for early Artificial Intelligence work such as theorem proving, symbolic calculus, electrical network design and analysis, natural language understanding, and many others.
		The LISP system developed by Norman consisted of approximately 5,000 lines of Univac assembly language for the interpreter and about 1,000 lines or so of LISP for the compiler.
		This web page attempts to document some of the characteristics of this early LISP system and is part of the overall Ancient LISP web page that is under perpetual construction by the author.

		The following are representative prices for UNIVAC 1108 components as of 1968 (in 1968 dollars).
		Many sites used the UNIVAC 1004 plugboard-programmable tabulator as a card reader/punch and printer.
		Access from remote terminals, either batch (remote job entry) or demand (interactive timesharing) was possible with communications interfaces such as the batch-only Character Terminal Synchronous (CTS) and Word Terminal Synchronous (WTS), and the Communication Terminal Module Controller (CTMC), which supported both synchronous (batch) and asynchronous (demand) Communication Terminal Modules (CTM).
