IBM 3740 Data Entry System was a data entry system that was announced by IBM in 1973. It recorded data on an 8" diskette, a new recording medium from IBM, for fast, flexible, efficient data entry to either high-production, centralized operations or to decentralized, remote operations. [ 1 ]
IBM first introduced the 8-inch FDD in 1971 as a read only program load device. In 1973 IBM shipped its first read/write floppy disk drive as a part of the 3740 Data Entry System. IBM established early standards in 8" FDDs but never sold such products separately so that the industry then developed separate from IBM.
The IBM System/3 was an IBM midrange computer introduced in 1969, [1] and marketed until 1985. It was produced by IBM Rochester in Minnesota as a low-end business computer [ 2 ] aimed at smaller organizations that still used IBM 1400 series computers or unit record equipment .
The IBM 5280 was designed to compete with the data entry products that were available at the time. The IBM 3740 was the major data entry capability available to convert the data collected at the source, whether high volume, distributed or locally gathered, to make it available in digitized form in databases that were available to the managers and other users, and to make sure that the ...
IBM's 1973 introduction of the 3740 Data Entry System created the basic media standard for the 8-inch single sided floppy disk, IBM's "Type 1" diskette, which coupled with rapidly increasing requirements for inexpensive, removable direct access storage for many small applications caused a dramatic growth in drive and controller shipments.

It uses standard IBM 3740 floppy disks with has a capacity of 1.2 MB each. The Z-67 is a 10 MB Winchester Drive plus one 8" floppy drive and also requires its own interface card. In France, the Heath/Zenith Data System branch connected the 10 MB removable cartridge hard disk, manufactured by Bull in Belfort
IBM introduces the IBM 3740 data entry system. It uses IBM's first read/write diskette, a single-sided 8-inch-diameter "memory disk"—a new recording medium to replace punched cards. [4] Each diskette can hold as much data as 3,000 standard 80-column punched cards. [5] See also: History of the floppy disk
