IBM 8000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM 8000 series was an ill-fated transistor-based successor to the IBM 7000 series. Important engineers on the project included Fred Brooks and Gerry Blaauw. Despite some technical successes, the project became a political football, amid IBM's search for a unified product line. The project was canceled in 1961, supplanted by the very successful System/360 series.
