Compared with the Combitron, storing programs is very comfortable with the P101. 76 <br>The device is equipped with a <a class="go" href="storage-media.php#run-time-memory">delay line memory</a> which is organized in 10 registers, each having 24 storage cells with 8 bit each. Summing up, there memory could save 240 byte. For comparison, that would not even suffice to store this paragraph of plain text! 77 <p>Today, the computer is famous for his award-winning futuristic design. Putting it into operation required some work, since the plastic coils for winding the magnetic program cards deformed and the small builtin printer is problematic. Anyway, our P 101 is fully operational. 78 79 76 80 77 81 <h3>WANG 320</h3>
