The 11/70 was a completely different beast than, say, an 11/03. The 70 had a backplane with 22 address lines, a MMU, and up to 4M bytes of memory. So while its processes were limited to 64K+64K bytes, I would not consider it to be a typical 16-bit machine. -- Nils M Holm < n m h @ t 3 x . o r g > www.t3x.org
