If you had a 6400 and a Cyber 73 sitting side-by-side, stripped of their

CDC management went a bit bonkers, re-christening old hardware with the
"Cyber" tag. In particular, I observed that the STAR-100 was re-dubbed
the "Cyber 200" almost at the end of its product life. I'm not aware of
a 100 ever bearing the "CYBER" nameplate.
But at bitsavers, that's where you have to look--the "Cyber"
subdirectory--even though the 200 and its ilk had nothing in common with
the other machines dubbed "Cyber".

one last comment....learning here, did not know
the connection
between cyber 70 and the 6600. Thanks
yes, it's confusing and you aren't the first person confused by it.
