IBM blew it as far as mini's concerned. The IBM 1800 was fun to work with.
System 7 software initially had to be developped on a mainframe and was not
compatible. System 1 was sold via higher management. So no (mini)computers
for the masses.

What is an IBM system/1 ?
A minicomputer. In some sense an incompatible followon to the
IBM 1130 & 1800.
Please save the docs! If noone who actually has a System/1 needs them,
I'd like to have them, and would be happy to pay postage.
