Well the 635 had 72 bit internal data paths and could actually
 overlap pairs of instructions. Which is why "repeat double"
 worked. But the main difference was that it had a real mainframe
 IO structure. The KAs was cheap and made it easy to attach home
 built stuff. Which was the market DEC was in before they got the
 idea they were competing with IBM.
