Relation to 1103

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

While the 1103 and 1105 may have inherited technology from the 1101, they had 36-bit words instead of 24-bit words, had two address instructions rather than one address instructions and their instructions didn't have a skip fields.

I was browsing bitsavers and I encountered one document^[1] that claimed the 1101 had a 24-bit word and another document^[2] that claimed a 30-bit word. Which is correct? --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
