The UMR 360/50 was one of the first owned 360s.  They were given a 
360/40 because IBM could not deliver the 50 on schedule.  I don't know 
how that was handled.

The 50 at UMR was also odd because it was a 512K main memory machine, 
and 1mb of LCS, giving a non power of 2 memory size. Supposedly lead to 
some bug fixes.

Ran HASP and MVT 21, as well as CPS
