PDP-1-X

The PDP-1-X was a heavily modified PDP-1 created at MIT's RLE.

Notable differences are:

• the addition of operating modes to the CPU (to support time-sharing): 'TS Off', 'TS Debug', 'Exec' (used for the kernel), and 'User';
• additional instructions;
• the addition of an index register;
• an I/O bus for connection of peripherals.
