The NCR 390 and 500 computers were also offered to customers who did not need the full power of the 315. The NCR 390 accepted four types of input: magnetic ledger cards, punched cards, punched tape, and keyboard entry, with a tape read speed of 400 characters a second. [23] The company's first all-integrated circuit computer was the Century 100 ...
The NCR 315-RMC, released in July 1965, was the first commercially available computer to employ thin-film memory.This reduced the clock cycle time to 800 nanoseconds.It also included floating-point logic to allow scientific calculations, while retaining the same instruction set as previous NCR 315 and NCR 315-100.
A modern consumer graphics card: A Radeon RX 6900 XT from AMD. A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor.
It was introduced by NCR in 1964 as part of the NCR 315 RMC computer, RMC for "rod memory computer". It was also used in their Century line. Like many similar concepts, notably twistor memory and thin film memory , rod memory was competing for the role of taking over from core when the first semiconductor memory systems wiped out the entire ...
Almost a full day was devoted to agreeing to name the standard "Small Computer System Interface", which Boucher intended to be pronounced "sexy", but ENDL's [11] Dal Allan pronounced the new acronym as "scuzzy" and that stuck. [12] The NCR facility in Wichita, Kansas developed the industry's first SCSI controller chip, the NCR 5385, released in ...
CRAM, or Card Random-Access Memory, model 353-1, was a data storage device invented by NCR, which first appeared on their model NCR-315 mainframe computer in 1962. It was also available for NCR's third generation NCR Century series as the NCR/653-100. A CRAM cartridge contained 256 3x14 inch cards with a PET film magnetic recording surface ...
NCR Century 100 Logo. The NCR Century 100 was NCR's first all integrated circuit computer built in 1968. [1] All logic gates were created by wire-wrapping NAND gates together to form flip-flops and other complex circuits. The console of the system had only 18 lights and switches and allowed entry of a boot routine, or changes to loaded programs ...
NCR 304 computer system Camp Pendleton, California. The NCR 304 computer, announced in 1957, [1] first delivered in 1959, [2] [3] was National Cash Register (NCR)'s first transistor-based computer. The 304 was developed and manufactured in cooperation with General Electric, [4] where it was also used internally. [5] Its follow-on was the NCR 315.
