... trivia: after FS implodes, head of POK was convincing corporate to
kill the VM370 product, shutdown the development group and transfer all
the people to POK for (370/XA) MVS/XA ... possibly because of how bad it
made POK's favorite son operation system, MVS, look; ... which 16-CPU
SMP would have just made MVS look worse.

Endicott (370 mid-range) eventually manages to acquire the VM370 product
mission ... but has to recreate a development group from scratch.
