Operating System/Virtual Storage 1, or OS/VS1, is a discontinued IBM mainframe computer operating system designed to be run on IBM System/370 hardware. It was the successor to the Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks (MFT) option of System/360 's operating system OS/360 .
IBM released fairly minor enhancements of OS/VS1 until 1983, and in 1984 announced that there would be no more. OS/VS1 and TSS/370 are the only IBM [51] System/370 operating systems that do not have modern descendants. The Special Real Time Operating System (SRTOS), Programming RPQ Z06751, is a variant of OS/VS1 extended to support real-time ...
All releases of OS/VS2 were available to no charge because the software cost was bundled with the hardware cost. OS/VS2 Release 3.8 was the last free release of MVS. In the late seventies and early eighties IBM announced: 5740-XE1 MVS/System Extensions (MVS/SE) MVS/SE improves the performance and RAS of OS/VS2 (MVS)
Bob Gale wrote and produced all three “Back to the Future” movies with franchise co-creator Robert Zemeckis, but he’s not interested in reviving the time travel franchise for a fourth go-around.
Operating System/Virtual Storage 1 (OS/VS1) Operating System/Virtual Storage 2 R1 (OS/VS2 SVS) PRIMOS (written in FORTRAN IV, that didn't have pointers, while later versions, around version 18, written in a version of PL/I, called PL/P) Virtual Machine/Basic System Extensions Program Product (BSEPP or VM/SE)
OS/VS2 release 1 is an upgrade of OS/360 MVT that retained most of the original code and, like MVT, is mainly written in assembly language. The MVS core is almost entirely written in Assembler XF , although a few modules were written in PL/S , but not the performance-sensitive ones, in particular not the Input/Output Supervisor (IOS).
There are several reasons that IBM provided a system generation process rather than simply providing a mechanism to restore the system from tape to disk. System/360 did not have self-identifying I/O devices, and the customer could request installation of I/O devices at arbitrary addresses.
OS/VS2 (SVS) was a stopgap measure pending the availability of MVS, although IBM provided support and enhancements to SVS long after shipping MVS. SVS provides a single 16MiB address space which is shared by all tasks in the system, regardless of the size of physical memory.
