IBM 360/30 in verilog

[Curious Marc]

Thanks for the detailed answer. I see the front panels look remarkably similar though. Short of redoing a 360/50 on an FPGA (I'd need to retire to have enough time for this one!), could I use the /50 panel with the /65 emulator?

There are a few additional instructions to communicate between CPUs.  The 65 has solid state local store, and a 56-bit ALU, so it can do double-precision floating-point arithmetic without having to double up the cycles, as the /50 does.  The /65 has no built-in channels.
