Yeah, I found that _after_ I sent the email, sigh...

    >> Speaking of books, there's also a CDC 6600 book:
    >>   Jim E. Thornton, "Design of A Computer: The Control Data 6600",
    >>         Scott, Foresman, Glenview, 1970

Didn't know that one was online too - excellent.


    >> Really gotta do that Bibliography!

    > Where is this 'computer history wiki', anyway?
