A small digital computer is described having a unique memory configuration which makes the computer quite suitable for highly interactive uses and yet places it in a price range similar to that of an electric desk calculator. The computer includes an input keyboard arrangement enabling an operator to directly deliver data to the computer, as well as a processor for manipulating data. The central memory is made up of four magnetostrictive delay lines, and secondary storage is provided in the form of a tape cassette. The control unit for directing operation of the computer is adapted to transfer data between one of the delay lines of central memory and the secondary storage at the same time data is being directed between another one of the storage devices and the processor for manipulation.
