I knew he worked on Whirlwind and SAGE but didn't know about TX-0 and
TX-2.

I hadn't heard about these last two computers until I read the book
"Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy (which I
think was just came out again as a 25th Anniversary edition).

I wonder if the TX-2 circuit module evolved into DECs Flip Chip
