SDS-940 Simulator Configuration
</H1>
<P>
Scientific Data Systems of El Segundo, California, produced a line of 24-bit
computers in the early and mid 1960's. The first system, the SDS 900, was
succeeded by the SDS 920 and SDS 930. Project Genie at the University of
California Berkeley modified the SDS 930 to increase its memory address
capability and add support for timesharing. The Project Genie timesharing
system provided many of the seminal ideas for Tenex and thus TOPS-20.
<P>
The SDS 940 is a commercial version of Project Genie's modified SDS 930.
It was succeeded by the SDS 9300, which was not compatible. After
the 9300, SDS built 32b systems, the SDS (and then XDS) Sigma series.
