1958-RCA introduces its Model 501 transistorized computer
The 501 is built on a 'building block' concept which allows it to be
highly flexible for many different uses and could simultaneously control
up to 63 tape drives—very useful for large databases of information.
For many business users, quick access to this huge storage capability
outweighed its relatively slow processing speed. Customers included US
military as well as industry.
