Nicolet 1080 is 20 bit data but has 16 bit address space. No stack functions. It has a register called link but that is only a single bit carry. Subroutines use the first address to store the return, meaning they were not recursive without something to save the returns ( I think dec did this too

While we're throwing around bits, here's one - the 1960 ISI 609 Information and Computer System runs 4096 Words of 39 bits plus a parity bit OR 8192 Words of 19 bits plus a parity bit OR 12288 Words of 13 bits each. ...but the basic machine operates upon 39 bit words with the instructions. The 19

I have what I believe is an unused RA60 head #4. At least the surface looks very clean. Someone has written "RA60 04" on the side of the box. On the top there is handwritten 70-18661-04. https://i.imgur.com/RNK0FOTl.jpg I could use a RL02 or RL01 head as a trade if someone is interested. /Matti
