[edit] Question
does it still support DOS/VSE and MUSIC SP? (i assume it would under z/VM at least)...
[edit] 24-bit System-360
Calling it "the 24-bit System/360" may be confusing. Perhaps this term was used because of the 24-bit addressing; if a reference to this is what the author had in mind, perhaps there are other ways to express it. The width of the data path varied among the models; for example, the 360 model 50 had a 32-bit data path. Jim 21:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- I changed it to "24-bit-addressing/32-bit-data System/360", as that is presumably what the author had in mind. (The width of the registers and "words" are probably more relevant than the data path widths here.) Guy Harris 03:25, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What was the System/390?
The article says "zSeries/z9 servers succeeded the IBM System/390 (S/390 for short)", but System/390 is a redirect to this article. Tempshill 22:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- It was a 32-bit line (unlike the 64-bit zSeries). It should probably have its own page. Guy Harris 09:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
This article sounds like an advertisement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.211.25.9 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC).
- That's correct, I de-adverted the page. --85.124.203.218 21:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
