It wasn't a rumor, it was the KT20 "Minnow". It was a workstation sans display. Given the memory addressing limits there were reasons why it was stillborn.

- p_l 7y agoI assume Minnow didn't use Model B addressing, then? My understanding was that Minnow was important step towards miniaturization of the PDP-10 line, in tandem with Jupiter (IIRC?) which spearheaded high cpu speed initiative...
- pinewurst 7y agoApparently I’m wrong about the address limits but it’s running on a really narrow microarchitecture with very limited (probably deliberately) performance.
