View source for PDP-6

The '''PDP-6''' was effectively the first model of the [[PDP-10]]; they are (mostly) binary-code compatible. It was built out of [[System Module]]s, [[DEC]]'s predecessor to the [[FLIP CHIP]] module series (out of which the first PDP-10, the [[KA10]], was built).

The machine was not a success, commercially (only 23 were sold), in part because the hardware was unreliable (largely because of one type of large System Module, which contained one bit of the entire [[ALU]] section of the [[CPU]] - a 'bridge too far' at the then-current state of [[printed circuit board]] technology).
