  I just read it last night, but can't find the
reference;
 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.
