The IBM 1401 Mainframe
One of the earliest widely used mainframes in the business world. In today's terms, we reckon the clock speed to be about .086 mHz. These puppies generally had between 4K and 16K of ram, but could accommodate the tape and disk drives . Can you believe it? The data structure was called binary coded decimal, or BCD, which was neither binary nor decimal, but it did have a parity bit!
