The NOVA 1200 was the first commercial minicomputer in 1970 to use the 74181. Several models of the PDP-11 - The most popular minicomputer of all time, were manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation. Xerox Alto - The first computer to use the desktop metaphor and graphical user interface (GUI).
The 74181 is a 4-bit slice arithmetic logic unit (ALU), implemented as a 7400 series TTL integrated circuit. Introduced by Texas Instruments in February 1970,[1] it was the first complete ALU on a single chip.[2] It was used as the arithmetic/logic core in the CPUs of many historically significant minicomputers and other devices.
Thank You!

Can't wait to see the whole thing running
4 x 74181 would make a sixtieth-bit computer.
