From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_technology_code_names Just the IBM code names (many of which I've never even heard): Cadet ? IBM 1620
The 1620 didn't have an arithmetic unit per se, relying instead on indexed memory references to the Add/Multiply Table, which had to be correctly loaded at startup. That, and the fact that its name was usually written in all uppercase, led to the back-formation of its name as an acronym for "Cant Add, Doesn't Even Try". :-)
