1971 Detailed Survey of 1940s-70s Mainframe,
Mini, Desktop, and Console Computer Systems
with PDP Inventor Gordon Bell, J. Presper Eckert, & John von Neumann ~ 668 Pages
Penned by one of the early pioneers in electronic data processing - Gordon Bell, who designed Digital's original PDP series - this historic text takes an in-depth look at a large cross-section of computing machines spanning the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, from vacuum tube consol...es such as the IBM 650 and Royal McBee LGP-30, to desktop models like the Hewlett-Packard HP 9100A, to supercomputers like the Control Data CDC 6600 and the ill-fated 64-processor ILLIAC IV, still under development at the time the book was written. Each is examined in terms of hardware, system architecture, instruction set, and a number of other criteria. Interspersed throughout are several photos of these classic systems, as you can see below. All in all, a definite must-have for any serious student of computer history. The complete table of contents is listed below.
Apart from a little cover wear, the book is very good condition. Hardcover, 668 pages. First edition, copyright 1971. This item ships WORLDWIDE.
