EA-6 is later
and used updated hardware.
It's hard to think of core memory as "updated" hardware. :-) I hate
imagine what an *earlier* fixed disk looked like!
It's my understanding that the first version was of the same general
design as Minuteman-1 missle computer and similar transistor
machines of the early 60s. Even the Accumulator was a "track"
on the multi headed disk.
