====Model B====
The later Model B version of the 2060 processors removes the 256 [[binary prefix|kilo]][[Word (data type)|word]] limit on the virtual address space by supporting up to 32 "sections" of up to 256 kilowords each, along with substantial changes to the instruction set.  The two versions are effectively different CPUs.  The first operating system that takes advantage of the Model B's capabilities is TOPS-20 release 3, and user mode extended addressing is offered in TOPS-20 release 4.  TOPS-20 versions after release 4.1 only run on a Model B.

TOPS-10 versions 7.02 and 7.03 also use extended addressing when run on a 1090 (or 1091) Model B processor running TOPS-20 microcode.
