Good suggestions. Thanks.
I'm seriously lacking intellectually in the mainframes arena... :-)
p.s. Do these include the early IC technologies (SLT, etc.) that IBM
used to build the 360s with?
Yes, all your previous questions about SLT would have been answered.
The nice thing about these books is the quality of research - sources
galore. The history is pretty well covered - why choices were made in the
design of the machines, who was involved, and alternatives that just did
not make it. Plus some really geeky pictures of Amdahl and Shugart.
The bad thing is that the books are sometimes hard to find.
