Talk:MVT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm rewording the following quote from the page:

Originally, that was something like a 360/40 controlling a 360/65 or greater processor through a magnetic tape channel controller processor. We had this nightmare at the university I attended in the late 1960's but we junked it for HASP which ran on the 360/65 alone (really a 67 with the TSO hardware turned off) with first OS 360/MFT and later MVS (when it worked). God bless HASP, written by 5 people who knew what they were doing. ASP was a total lost at the time, designed to sell second computers, mainly 360/40s. HASP needed only one computer and MTF to start with. Later, with MVS, it was the standard. That was for a couple of years.

While it's good anecdotal evidence, it isn't really in the tone of an encyclopedic entry. I'm going to see what it takes to make it less of a POV. --Elkman - ^(talk) 21:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
