Flip Chip technology was invented for the PDP-7, after the failure of the
large System Modules used in the PDP-6.  The only part of the PDP-7 which
uses System Modules(TM) is the DECtape controller for the 555 DECtape
drives.

If you'd like to visit the museum, I'll happily show you the internals of
a running PDP-7. :-)
