An amazingly strange and irrelevant distinction!
Where was the mass storage interface of a 360
physically located? The
disk drives were NOT in the same box as the CPU.
I sincerely doubt that putting the disk controller
inside or outside the
CPU box has any significant effect on the Zuse number of the computer.
Well, usualy I say it has - Realy computers have at least one
additional rack for the disk controler, which adds footage and
weight :)
