AB - Norden Systems, Norwalk, Connecticut, has introduced a major option, a fully militarized semiconductor memory, to its PDP‐11M line of minicomputers.This new option, according to Harold L. Ergott, vice president ‐ computer products, will be more cost effective for certain applications than the existing core memory and will be available with all of Norden's computer products now being marketed under the military nomenclature AN/UYK‐42 (V).These include the PDP‐11/34M, a mid‐range minicomputer, the PDP‐11/70M, a “high end” minicomputer, and the LSI‐ 11M, a high speed microcomputer.According to Ergott, “This enhancement to our product line gives our customers a choice of selecting the type of memory that best fits the application. They can even choose mixed memory systems if they so desire.”Designed and built by Norden, the semiconductor memory is less expensive than core, easier to maintain and consumes less power. It also takes far less space, leaving more room in the computer chassis for I/O device interfaces. “But where nuclear hardening or non‐volatility are important considerations,” says Ergott, “core memory is preferable.”Universal PROM Programmers Are Adapatable And FlexibleThe semiconductor memory unit offered is available with 16K or 32K word capacity of 18 bits per word. Its features include 0.5 microsecond full
