Lots of transistors, aren't there? I think of the
PB-250--a
minicomputer (even though the name didn't exist then) with about 300
transistors and a mess of diodes. 21 bit words+sign,
magnetostrictive recirculating memory. Powered from a standard wall
outlet. Bitsavers has very complete details, including circuit card
schematics.
The SMALL and the BIG. Looking at the ICT 1301 around here.
