| Â | About JFCL |
| | Well, a lot of the computers here are siblings of the –10, although sadly there is no 36 bit hardware running in the garage. | | | It was a minor "in" joke among the crowd of –10 hackers that the JUMP instruction never jumped (because it didn’t specify any condition to jump on!); the SKIP instruction never skipped; the Compare instruction didn’t compare anything; the Test instruction didn’t test anything and, well, you get the idea. | | | The entire –10 instruction set was summarized by a simple diagram that occupied just two panels of the pocket sized Quick Reference card. |

| Â | THE DECSYSTEM-20 AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY |
| | DECSYSTEM 20 Assembly Language Programming Guide (Columbia U): | | | The DEC-20, with its PDP-11/40 front end, was designed on the assumption that terminal input comes directly from people sitting at keyboards typing with their fingers at a relatively slow rate -- maybe 10 characters per second, tops -- whereas large amounts of sustained output can be sent from the computer to the screen. | | | Rather than use the PC's floppies to store mainframe files, users were doing most of their file creation and manipulation on the PC, and sending the results to the mainframe for archiving and sharing. |

| | Page 10 2.3 User-oriented Design Philosophy A piece of system design "philosophy" had emerged at BBN and among some of the ARPA research sites that was to have a large impact on the overall feel of TENEX and, ultimately, TOPS-20. | | | The Foonly designers were projecting a factor of 10 speedup over the KA10, and DEC engineers were invited out to review these plans. | | | At the time, we called this "human engineering" -- we wanted the system to be easy to learn and easy to use, and we wanted the system to take care of as many grungy details as possible so that the programmer or user did not have to deal with them. |

| | Several of the most senior engineers the PDP-11 groups began coming to Marlboro to talk about building a small 10 -- small for us that is, but large in comparison to the -11 line. | | | Page 10 Many of the paging concepts came from our own previous work, the PDP-1 LISP system in particular. | | | One upshot of this work was that the original design for extended addressing came under review. |

| | Their larger PDP-10 cousins, which used a 36-bit architecture, were aimed at data-processing centers instead, eventually being sold as the DECsystem 10 and 20. | | | PDP-11 machines started in the market essentially as upscale PDP-8s, but as improvements to integrated circuits continued, they eventually were packaged in cases no larger than a modern PC. | | | The PDP-11 systems supported several operating systems of the day, including Bell Labs' new UNIX operating system as well as DEC's RSX and RSTS. |

| | Instead of using the DEC Massbus disk and tape drives more commonly seen on DECsystem 10s, MCI/Tymnet was using IBM bus/tag devices attached via a System Concepts SA-10 Channel Adapter. | | | This particular machine was used by MCI/Tymnet in Fremont, California, running TYMCOM-X, their proprietary operating system derived from an early version of TOPS-10 (maybe even back when it was just called "Monitor"). | | | There reportedly were other such interfaces; apparently DEC even resold one. |
