  Weren't the add tables provided as an extra feature, this feature named
CADET?  If memory serves me, the 1620 itself had no add hardware (which, it
being decimal based, makes some kind of sense), so CADET was described as
a "feature".  CADET itself, of course, standing for Can't Add, Doesn't Even
Try.
