re:
http://www.garlic.com/~lyn n/2015h.html#71 Miniskirts and mainframes

IBM SHARE user group made a point that VAX was simpler to manage than
VM370/CMS. If IBM had simplified VM370 further the claim rather than
4300s and VAXes selling about the same number of machines (except for
large corporate 4300 orders of hundreds at a time), 4300s would have
made significant further inroads into VAX sales.

There was an attempt to make VM370 part of all 138/148s (4300 precursor)

Case in point, with what was probably the largest sale on 4341s; the
one to the US/NATO/SEATO military crypto network. The total orders went
past 6000 units for this network alone, but it was done peacemeal in
> 100 different contracts and bids. The channel attached cyrpto hardware
was from a third party, though, and IBM never saw these machines once
they were installed.

I was a courier with the CTS key tapes between installations throughout
Norway in 1984. Sealed envelope with triggered athmosphere inside, with
some destruction device embedded in a small suitcase, with a discreet
hand loop that would trigger destruction if pulled. A lost key tape
would not compromise anything, but had some emergency procedures to
be performed.

Mostly they generated tapes to be put in standard mail, lots and 
lots of them. Crates full. 

We know this system was not compromised by the Russians, there were
at least two dozen military installations in this network they never
knew about; 4 of them in Norway alone.

6000 is about the same magnitude as the total number of pdp10s ever
made. How many were there, actually? And how did the others cope?

As a small to medium academic installtion...we had IBM tendering against 
DEC for a replacement system in 1986. IBM lost, mainly due to incompetent 
sales staff. The IBM offering was a 4381 (but with a non IBM operating 
system), and the DEC one was an 8800 (clustered with a couple of 8200s to 
help pass a benchmark). The latter was VMS of course.

At the branch campus of the University I went to, they had a VAX
11/730. Six terminals on the vampus I was on, 4 at antoher campus, and
one modem port used by another campus.

Some of the stuff seemed so fast, until something new came along.

I ran Microware OS-9 ("Unix-like", it was multitasking and multiuser)
on a Radio Shack Color Computer starting in 1984.  I never strained the 
system, except when I was printing.  I had the printer off the serial 
port, but the serial conversion was done in software.  ANd that hogged
the resources.  So I could print from one console, and then go back to 
editing, except I could see the cursor move around the screen, it slowed 
things down that much.  Of course the computer only ran at 1MHz, until 
1987 when a later model was released, a full 2MHz clock.

I used to hit slow times at my ISP years ago, but I was never sure if the 
problem was too many users slowing down the system or a phone line that 
slowed things down.

Not too bad... until one of the faculty got VAX ADA and put it on that
machine. They could start a compile, go eat lunch, come back, and the
first errors were just tarting to show up on the DEC VT102s.

My definition is :

You can throw a laptop 5+ meters
You can carry a pc 5+ meters
You can wheel a mini 5+ meters
With a mainframe you can enter and close the door after yourself.

You can enter a PDP-9 and close the door after you and it is no mainframe.

There isn't any single 'definition' of mainframe vs. mini.  There were, as described above, small mainframes and large minis, which confused the issue.

Generally, minis were less powerful, simpler, and cheaper than mainframes of its era.  Generally, they had slower periperhals and simpler operating systems.

But for some clues, look at the physical, horsepower, and architectural differences between the IBM S/3 and IBM S/360.  Look what was done to hold the cost of the S/3 down.  (Or the 1130 and S/360).

JCL was dreadful (1980s era anyhow) I guess I just got used to it; then
