KS10
Manufacturer: Digital Equipment Corporation
Architecture: PDP-10
Year Introduced: 1978
Form Factor: small mainframe
Word Size: 36 bits
Logic Type: LS TTL ICs
Design Type: clocked synchronous microcoded
Microword Width: 96
Microcode Length: 2K words
Clock Speed: 20 MHz
Cache Size: 512 words
Physical Address Size: 19 bits (some had 20)
Virtual Address Size: 18 bits
