From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilson Mobray ... Wilson Mobray was an computer engineer employed by CompuServe in the early 70's. He contributed to the project by developing a cache memory for the DX-20 line of DEC computers. In 1978, CompuServe was using at least seven KI computers in their Arlington, Ohio based location. Mobray's contribution helped to increase processor power of the KI machines by over thirty percent! In those days, that was a huge improvement, and it was extremely cost effective, as the KI line of computers was dying out, being replaced by newer and faster processors.

This helped CompuServe to continue it's 36 bit computing project.
