since I don't remember 65s, I assume not many of them made it out the door?
Uh, no. The 360/65 was a very popular model, QUITE (4X) a
step up from the 360/50. The /67 was a variant of the /65,
which had an address translator feature pretty identical to
what was used in the later 370/168 for demand-paged virtual
memory. The model 65 also allowed two processors to run
from shared memory. This was called the MP65. The model
/60 was only produced for a short time, it was replaced with
the model /65.
There is a picture of the /65 console in the Wikipedia article.
Also, a variant of the 360/65 was part of the FAA's air
traffic control computer complexes. They were called a
model 9020.
