SUBJECT-MICROCOMPUTERS					INTEREST-ALL

	AT THIS TIME WE HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE ASSEMBLED MODEL
FOR IRVING AND THE KIT IS NOT YET FINISHED. HOWEVER, WE HAVE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL
IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS FROM RESEARCH, MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH ACTUAL
MANUFACTURERS AND USERS.  WITH THE HELP OF YOUR ANSWERS TO THE 
QUESTIONAIRE AND MY FINDINGS (I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO USE THREE
DIFFERENT MODELS) I WILL BE DRAFTING A PRELIMINARY REPORT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
I SHALL SEND YOU COPIES OF IT AT THAT TIME.

SUBJECT-DECSYSTEM10					INTEREST-ALL

	REJOICE!! WE HAVE ADDED A FOURTH BOX OF MEMORY (64K) TO THE
SYSTEM AND IT HAS HELPED RESPONSE. (IT HAS HAD THE GREATEST
EFFECT ON SMALL JOBS; SO THE STUDENTS HAVE BENEFITED THE MOST.)
WITH RESPECT TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS (SPEED, OVERHEAD, SPACE ETC), WE ARE
CURRENTLY WORKING ON A POSSIBLE UPGRADE TO A KL10 CPU.  THIS WOULD
IMPROVE SPEED BY A FACTOR OF 2.5 AND MORE EFFECIENTLY USE THE MEMORY.
ALL IN ALL, CONSIDERING THE MICRO-STUDY AND THE KL10, THINGS ARE
LOOKING BRIGHT ONCE AGAIN.  IF YOU FEEL THERE ARE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS IN
THE FIELD THAT I AM UNAWARE OF, PLEASE CALL ME AT EX 6725.
