RE: interesting Univac ad from 1956
Speaking of octal on the Univac 1108 reminds me of the decimal <--> octal conversion function of the HP-65. There were plenty of 32-bit mainframes (IBM 360) and 36-bit mainframes (Univac 1108) around in 1974 when the 65 was released, but HP chose only octal conversion, not hex. I wonder why (perhaps difficulty of representing A-F on the LEDs)? Were most of the minis of that era octal-based?
