Ken Thompson's memory of it

Ken was nice enough to respond to a query asking for help from old-timers; here is his brief reply:

i did all the programming for it.
it was based on the pdp-10 memory map. it had 2 pages growing toward each other and some horse crap to let the har[d]ware multiply unit shine through.
sorry, i dont remember too many details.

which, alas, does not really add much to what little we know. Jnc (talk) 04:16, 17 May 2023 (CEST)
