A myriad of people worked on the TX-0, from the time it was constructed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory in 1956, to the time it was lend to the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics in 1958 where it was later decommissioned in the mid-1960's. Many of the hackers came from the [http://www.mit.edu/~tmrc/ Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC)].

* [[Gordon Bell]] added a 7-track IBM magnetic tape drive to the TX-0 and co-founded the Computer Museum.
* [[Wesley Clark]] was the associate director of the Advanced Development Group at Lincoln Laboratory at the time and was also the system architect for the [[TX-0]]. He supposedly put together the design for the TX-0 over a single weekend.
* [[Bill Daly]] wrote a [[tic-tac-toe]] for the TX-0.
* [[Jack Dennis]] was proprietor of the TX-0 at RLE, a long time TMRC hacker who also programmed the MACRO assembler.
* [[David Gross]] hacked a sound recording utility using the rack-mounted A/D and D/A converters connected to the TX-0.
* [[Alan Kotok]] worked under [[Jack Dennis]] as a systems programmer for the TX-0 and hacked extensively on various projects.
* [[John McKenzie]] came from Lincoln Labs with the TX-0 as the maintanance technician.
* [[David Ness]] arrived on campus in the fall of 1957 and worked with the TX-0 after it was lent to [[RLE]].
* [[Kenneth Olsen]] founded Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1957 after having worked as an engineer on both the TX-0 and [[TX-2]].
* [[Douglas Ross]] wrote the "[[Mouse Maze]]" game together with [[John Ward]].
* [[Peter Samson]] made the TX-0 play Bach through the built in speaker.
* [[Robert Saunders]] wrote the [[MIDAS]] assembler and was the TX-0 hackers assembler guru.
* [[Kenneth Stevens]] led the [[RLE Speech Communication Group]] which constructed signal processing programs for speech applications.
* [[Thomas Stockham]] wrote the [[FliT]] debugging program to facilitate on-line debugging of running applications.
* [[Bob Wagner]] wrote [[Microflit]], which was a much smaller and terser debugger than FliT.
* [[John Ward]] wrote the "Mouse Maze" game together with [[Douglas Ross]][http://xoomer.alice.it/zyrtec/ .]

Many other people worked on the TX-0, some during the day, working on officially sanctioned projects, and others during the night and weekends, working on-line with the ideas that seemed most interesting at the time. In time, people would move to the [[PDP-1]] which was installed in the adjoining "[[Kluge Room]]" in 1961, but no one would ever forget about Tixo
