The IBM Personal Computer, commonly known as the IBM PC, spanned multiple models in its first generation (including the PCjr, the Portable PC, the XT, the AT, the Convertible, and the /370 systems, among others), from 1981 to 1987. It eventually gave way to many splintering product lines after IBM introduced the Personal System/2 in April 1987.
The Model 115 came standard with 65,536 (64 KB) of memory, but it could optionally be ordered with up to 196,608 (192 KB). The system had a CRT operator console. Standard features of the Model 115 were the System/370 standard and commercial (including decimal arithmetic) instruction sets, and a "direct disk attachment" for IBM 3340 disk
The IBM System/370 Model 148 (and the Model 138 [1]) were both announced June 30, 1976 [2]. Not only were they both more powerful and better in price/performance than the IBM System/370 Model 145 with a 3145-3 CPU and the IBM System/370 Model 135 with a 3135-3 CPU, respectively, but lower in price.
OS/360, officially known as IBM System/360 Operating System, [1] [2] is a discontinued batch processing operating system developed by IBM for their then-new System/360 mainframe computer, announced in 1964; it was influenced by the earlier IBSYS/IBJOB and Input/Output Control System (IOCS) packages for the IBM 7090/7094 [citation needed] and even more so by the PR155 Operating System for the ...
As it is an assembly language, BAL uses the native instruction set of the IBM mainframe architecture on which it runs, System/360.. The successors to BAL use the native instruction sets of the IBM mainframe architectures on which they run, including System/360, System/370, System/370-XA, ESA/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture.
The IBM System/360 architecture is the model independent architecture for the entire S/360 line of mainframe computers, including but not limited to the instruction set architecture. The elements of the architecture are documented in the IBM System/360 Principles of Operation [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and the IBM System/360 I/O Interface Channel to Control ...
Model 204 is commonly used in government and military applications. [8] [9] [10]It was used commercially in the UK by Marks & Spencer. [citation needed] It was also used at the Ventura County Property Tax system in California, [11] the Harris County, Texas, Justice Information Management System, [12] and in the New York City Department of Education's Automate The Schools system.
The IBM System/360 Model 44 is a specialized member of the IBM System/360 family, with a variant of the System/360 computer architecture, designed for scientific computing, real-time computing, process control and numerical control (NC). [note 1] The Model 44 was announced August 16, 1965 and withdrawn September 24, 1973. [1]
