Thanks, I was kind of thinking there was a 360 in the middle, but...
Now that you mention it, I remember the 360 being added to the basement computer center.
I think they moved the 78044 to the back and put the 360 where it used to be, or maybe
first installed the 360 in the back, then switched them.
With the 360, a 2501 card reader was installed in the public area, and students just
loaded in their own decks, must have been to a spooler (was the spooler running in F1? OR
f2, and they were executed in F1? I would NOT have known that detail).
The univac was installed in the new building east of the dorms.'
Now, were they all called IITRAN? I'm kind of thinking with the last switch, they had
a new name and the language changed a bit.

correct that there was an IITRAN for the Univac 1108, which was significantly different?
I believe that IITRAN was moved from the 7040 to a 360/40 for a few
years, then to an Univac 1108. All architectures very different from
one another. I believe that the S/360 ran DOS/360 with the IITRAN
running in a foreground partition. Ron Hochsprung, if he's still
around, may recall more accurately.
