Hi all,
I am looking for information and most importantly a picture of the IBM 360 mod 70.
What I know about it is :
It was introduced in 1964 along with the "30, 40, 50, and 60's.
There were mockups and photos of the 360 family made, 8x10's were sent out to key
sales people and
press as part of a product launch kit of some sort, most with an assortment of
disclaimers on the back.
As I understand it, the 360 Mod 70 was never shipped.
But what happened to it?
It has been said that it evolved into the Mod 75 before it hit the streets.
Was it shipped to an undisclosed location, under a new GSA number?
Or was it scrapped early in life, and gave up its core to something else?
if so what?
My first question is what did it, or was it suspose to look like.
What I am real interested in is any picture showing the console.
I thought the S/360/70 was just *renamed* the S/360/75 for marketing
reasons.
Peace... Sridhar
