UNIVAC 1107
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UNIVAC 1107 was the first member of Sperry Rand's UNIVAC 1100 series of computers, introduced in October 1962. Also known as the Thin Film Computer because of its use of thin film memory for its register storage. Only 36 systems were sold.
The core memory was available in 16,384 words in a single bank; or in increments of 16,384 words to a maximum of 65,536 words in two separately accessed banks. With a cycle time of 4 microseconds, the effective cycle time was 2 microseconds when instruction and data accesses overlapped in two banks.
The 128 word thin film memory general register stack had a 300 nanosecond access time with a complete cycle time of 600 nanoseconds.
Both UNISERVO IIA and UNISERVO III tape drives were supported, both of which could use either metallic or mylar tape.
