September:
The PDP-10 debuts.

The 36-bit PDP-10 was program-compatible with the PDP-6 and approximately twice as powerful. Designed to perform conversational timesharing, batch-processing and real-time operations equally well and simultaneously, the PDP-10 achieved great popularity with the commercial timesharing utilities, university computer centers and research laboratories.

K series Flip Chip modules are introduced.

The new, noise-immune K series Flip Chip module line was used for control applications in industrial computers. By 1975, DIGITAL produced approximately 200 different types of K series modules.

The first generation of M series Flip Chip modules is introduced.

M series modules were used in the first redesign of the PDP-8, called the PDP-8/I, and were used in the first PDP-11 (PDP-11/20), the second PDP-10 processor (KI10) and the PDP-8/E. M series modules were DIGITAL's first logic cards to use integrated circuits.
