It's just outside of your time frame (circa 1980), but the HP 64000
operating system allowed years up to 2157 (dates were stored as the number
of days since January 1, 1976) and accepted years of either two or four
digits. Unusually for an American product, it required dates to be entered
in D/M/Y format.
