Gene225 16:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)I wish to update the history of the MoBiDic computer. There was a version of this computer (AN/UYK - 7A) delivered to Fort Huachuca, Arizona in early 1960. I was a Computer Technician and Instructor on this system from 1960 to November 1963. My initial training was received at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey in the later part of 1959. This version also used fieldata code (6 bit code), had 7 Ferrite Core Memory Stacks. Each Memory Stack had 4,096 memory locations. The main truck housed the console, I/O converters, power supplies, cpu, Ampex FR 300 tape drives, TTY paper tape punch, TTY Unit, and a Ferranti-Packard paper tape reader. The other truck only housed the IBM 533 Card Punch and Card Reader. The cycle time of the 7A was 16us.
