IBM 7010 system: console (in front), disc drives and processing modules (left), tape storage, punch card reader and printer (right) The 700/7000 commercial architecture inspired the very successful IBM 1400 series of mid-sized business computers. In turn, IBM later introduced a mainframe version of the IBM 1410 called the IBM 7010. Data format
The IBM 7340 "Hypertape" system was a magnetic tape data storage format designed to work with the IBM 7074, 7080 and 7090 computers that was introduced in 1961 and withdrawn in 1971. As a technology, it deviated in several ways from the then dominant IBM 7 track system. It distinguished itself by having higher capacity, faster data transfer ...
The 7070, 7072 and 7074 support a variety of peripheral devices. including up to 1 7150 console typewriter, 4 7300 Disk-Storage units attached to an IBM 7604 Tape Control via an IBM 7605 RAMAC Control, 40 729 models II and IV [c] tape drives attached to an IBM 7604 Tape Control, and 6 (3 input, 3 output) unit record devices attached to an IBM ...
The IBM 7340 Hypertape drive, introduced in 1961, used a dual reel cassette with a 1-inch-wide (2.5 cm) tape capable of holding 2 million six-bit characters per cassette. [ citation needed ] In the 1970s and 1980s, audio Compact Cassettes were frequently used as an inexpensive data storage system for home computers , [ b ] or in some cases for ...
IBM established early standards in 8" FDDs but never sold such products separately so that the industry then developed separate from IBM. IBM was at one point was the world's largest purchaser of OEM 5 1 ⁄ 4 -inch FDDs; its selection of the two-sided, 48 tracks-per-inch model helped establish the model as the de facto industry standard.
Products, services, and subsidiaries have been offered from International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations since the 1890s. [1] This list comprises those offerings and is eclectic; it includes, for example, the AN/FSQ-7, which was not a product in the sense of offered for sale, but was a product in the sense of manufactured—produced by the labor of IBM.
The computer media, communications and IBM end user sales and service organization were spun out as Memorex International. In 1988, Memorex International acquired the Telex Corporation becoming Memorex Telex NV, a corporation based in the Netherlands , which survived as an entity until the middle 1990s. [ 4 ]
First tape library with robotic access: proposed correction. My recollection is that Livermore Labs had the first robotic tape library. The IBM 7340 Hypertape drive had two cassettes. One was the active cassette used in read/write operations. The standby cassette was used in reel change operations.
