Although the System/3 was viewed as a replacement for the IBM 1401, I'd have thought
that more logically it would have replaced the 360/20 which to me wasn't a true 360
machine.? The smallest I worked on was the 360/25 under DOS before moving onto a 360/40
under Dos Power II.? Check out Youtube for an interesting IBM System/3 commercial.?
