I was kind of baiting Chuck, I suspected he would win in the end. But I was hoping for someone to come up in-between up with a Cromemco or NortStar CPU board, for S-100 bus, with a telex paper tape reader as boot device.. The thing above kind of trumps that however. The only 6-bit bytes machine I remember was a Control Data 6600. It had 10 of them in a word though, so pretty big integers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@tomcat.apache.org
