Univac 1130 I think it was. No floating point hardware. Had to shift left and right, and test for decimal point.

Lots of simple instructions to do the job of what one instruction should do. Yes, a simple instruction set can do the job, but it takes (for the most part) many step and pretty good programming techniques.
