Gould made a number of machines which had a two way set associative
cache. The Gould 9000, 8600, and 67 all had this style of cache memory.
The 9000 also had an expandable cache which they called shadow memory
that worked by overlaying a block of DRAM.
I don't know for sure the dates of these machines, but I think only the
8600 was pre 83, possibly mid to late 82.

computers or processors prior to 1983 that implemented cache memory in the

Can anyone think of any other than the following:
Amdahl 470 V/6
Amdahl 470 V/6-II
Amdahl 470 V/8
Amdahl 580
Data General Eclipse MV/4000
Data General Eclipse MV/8000C
Data General Eclipse MV/8000II
Data General Eclipse MV/10000
HP 3000 Series 64
IBM 3033
IBM 3038
IBM 3081K
IBM 3084
NEC S/1000
SGI Power
Zilog Z8000
