Yes, DEC underestimated the difficulties of expanding the PDP-10 architecture,
but that could have been overcome had there been corporate will to do so.

The "VAX is everything" mindset at Digital after the VAX was defined changed
the priority from "we have to build what our customers want" to "our customers
will want whatever we build"--which in the end killed the company, although
that took another 15 years to take full effect.

We usually measured things in character equivalency:  Each kiloword on a PDP-10
holds 2560 7-bit ASCII characters, so is equated to 2.5KB on a machine forced
to use 8-bit bytes.  The 256KW memory of the original PDP-10 is equivalent to
1.5MB on a System/360 for byte-level processing.

The hardware expanded to 22 bits of address on the 2nd generation processor,
introduced in 1971, although user programs were held to 18-bit address spaces.
The physical memory is 4MW on the KI-10, and on the 3rd generation KL-10; the
latter has a microcode implementation of the pager, and allowed 23-bit
addressing.  This was eventually allowed to user programs on both operating
systems (TOPS-20 c. 1981, Tops-10 in 1988).

A third party manufacturer built a full 30-bit addressing clone of the KL-10
which hit the market in late 1995 (missing the upgrade market by roughly a
year).  The programming changes to make use of the full 30 bits of address were
not as drastic as you think--most of the work was done in the early 1970s on
the virtual memory version of Tops-10 for the KI.  SMOP, not a herculean effort.

And that was a source of pain for a lot of applications, because they *could*
fiddle with the upper byte, and did.
