 but the Cyber 205 was the final evolution of the CDC 7600
 machine. Its peripheral processors were true, individual
 processors, as opposed to the 6600's single multi-threaded
 PP (one processor with multiple contexts).  
   I beg to differ here...The design of the 205 was based on the design
 of the Star 100, which predates even the 6600.  I'm sure there was
 some cross-pollenation of ideas and such (being the same company and
 all) but they are different computers entirely. 
My corrected ost will have arrived about 15 minutes before

This mailing list is entirely too slow. I need to be able to
post a correction to myself before everyone else does!
