i have been thinking of running a good dos machine or
finding one. i find
that each machine is different from the hardware to the way it runs the
software. some have the use of a hard drive and some don't i have thought
of wanting a sorta high end dos machine one that has the use of a hard
drive and can run any program that dos can run and not have issues.
Probably the 360/H40 (Model 40 with 128K core). Add 2 selector channels.
Without disks, you would of course be running TOS instead, but the JCL and
data management services are the same, so lumping them together is
understandable.
A larger model (50, 65, 75) would almost certainly use OS/360, although a
smaller 50 might be run with the MFT version so very much like DOS.
