DEC had a bunch of unrelated machines with "PD" in their model numbers.
They didn't even have the same word size.
I suspect that what Tymshare had was a PDP-10, or maybe the older PDP-6,
which was basically an older version of the same machine.

I know what a TSO version is, but how could you have a Wylbur version
written in PL/I? Wylbur didn't support any language other than its own
command/macro language.
