> 32K memory to manage such a complex device for 46 years Word size was 18 bits, so 32k words is an enormous 72 kilobytes. Google also gives me 69.63 kilobytes, for example in https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/15iaox2/nasa_has_reestablished_full_communications_with/ https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/15iaox2/nasa_ha... https://history.nasa.gov/computers/Ch6-2.html https://history.nasa.gov/computers/Ch6-2.html says the CCS had 8k words (“Along with the new chips, the memory changed with an expansion to 8K”) I guess the confusion is because the hardware has multiple (¿3?) computers.
