Fabritek

I'm curious about the location of "Fabritek" which would be the moby memory, right?

According to this floor plan the AI PDP-6 & 10 was in room 921 to the right. And MC was somewhere in the space to the left (replacing the 645), correct? So was the moby memory moved away from AI, closer to MC? Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 19:02, 12 April 2021 (CEST)

Yes. A wall, parallel to the building's long axis, was built roughly between the two pillars above where it says '1401' in red. MC was in the space between the group of 4 pillars; in my MC diagram, the CPU was at the bottom. (Offices were built all around the outer wall, from 936 to 904.

No, the Fabritek 'moby' memory was over next to the AI CPU, and never moved. What happened was I got confused, and made a mistake in my MC diagram, and labelled MC's new memory as 'Fabritek', when it was probably something different, maybe ARM, maybe an ARM10? I've fixed the diagram. Jnc (talk) 23:18, 12 April 2021 (CEST)

If you look at my File:MC-KL_Layout.jpg diagram (new, further fixed version up-loaded), this photo above is taken from the middle, pointing towards the RH10. You can see a corner of the Ampex on the right-hand edge of the photo.

The thing you can see behind the CPU might be one of those pillars.

On the other side of the wall behind the RP04's (which you can see a tiny bit of in photo, in the gap between the CPU and the RH10), is where MIT-XX was eventually installed. Jnc (talk) 02:37, 15 February 2022 (CET)
