I worked on a model 1 with 40k memory (my very first computer experience) and floating
point, and later a model 2 stripped. I believe the model 2 still used table lookup for
multiply.
Sure enough, that's what the Model 2 manual I just found on Bitsavers
says. I always though that both add and multiply were in hardware. Interesting. Another
major enhancement in model 2 is index registers.
