I just got my copy of the Core memory book. Very nice work.
I noticed there is what I think may be a mis-identified system in the
front. It shows an Apollo system of some sort, but identifies it as an
Apollo Guidance computer. I went back and forth a few times and
convinced myself it was wrong.
It is a very nice book. I've got a few of the systems photographed,
which is nice as well.

The chapter of the actual Apollo (Command or LEM?) unit is of course
what you point out. I think there is a bit of a boo boo for the
frontpiece. I don't know which Apollo era computer had a CRT and a floppy.

You're right about the caption error. That's an Apollo Domain, from
Apollo computer in the 1980s. No relationship whatsoever to the NASA
Apollo program.

That looks like an Apollo Computer DN3xx (DN300, DN320, or DN330)
sitting on top of a DSP80.
