    This was a virtual computer, a reference instruction set, and abilities that all machines in the family would support. To provide different classes of machines, each computer in the family would use more or less hardware emulation, and more or less microprogram emulation, to create a machine able to run the full S/360 instruction set.

    On some computers, e.g., PDP-6, the same registers served as accumulators and index registers, making them an early example of general-purpose registers. In the second generation there was considerable development of new address modes , including truncated addressing on, e.g., the Philco TRANSAC S-2000 , the UNIVAC III , and automatic index ...

    ENIAC was a large, modular computer, composed of individual panels to perform different functions. Twenty of these modules were accumulators that could not only add and subtract, but hold a ten-digit decimal number in memory. Numbers were passed between these units across several general-purpose buses (or trays, as they were called). In order ...
