Well, Able made a thing called an 'Able ENABLE' which
allowed use of more
than 256KB of physical memory on any UNIBUS -11 with
memory mapping hardware
which wasn't an -11/70-44-24. That's probably what it's
talking about.
I had a meeting with Ken Omohundro on 12/7 and will be
having dinner with him again soon. I'll ask him about
it. I know he doesn't have any records left, but I could
take him your notes and see what he recalls. Also I can
perhaps get engineer names and try to track them down.
I hope to get a biography and history of his companies
including Able, and figure somewhere to get it stored.
Hey, this has to be a guy I met at Washington University
(St. Louis, MO.) in about 1971 or so.
