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

 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.
