The names on the patent were Don Birmingham, Bob McKenzie, Bud Pine, and Bill Hill.

In 1964, acting as a front end processor along with an interface to the GE-225 computer, a professor at Dartmouth College developed the BASIC programming language.

Multiple teletype units were attached to be the first time-sharing system.

The system could attach up to 128 asynchronous terminals, nominally at speeds of up to "3000 bits per second" (bit/s), but usually limited to the 300 bit/s supported by standard common-carrier facilities of the time, such as the Bell 103 modem.

The system was also a general purpose computer, with a number of special-purpose hardware registers.
