AMD29K isn't "Modern"
Well, compared to the ENIAC it is! :-)
To be serious, the 29K is fully what we now think of as a 'computer'; that's
all I meant by saying it's "modern".
If you have to use another external mechanism to
arbitrarily change the
program, then it's a calculator.....
Alas, if you hold to that, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree,
because to me, a 29K with only ROM on the I-bus is clearly a 'computer'.
