In 1964, that was false advertising.

In 1965, the first System/360 machines were delivered.

There were adjustments to the initially announced lineup, so "Model 60" and 
"Model 70" were replaced by the model 65 and model 75.

So the question to ask is: was it possible to order a System/360 Model 75 with 8 
megabytes of core storage?

Looking at 360/75 Functional Characteristics, the configurations avalable are 
the 2075H, 2075I, and 2075J, with 256 Kbytes, 512 Kbytes, and 1 Mbyte 
respectively. This was 750 nanosecond memory, in 2365 Processor Storage modules.

Also, you could get 8 microsecond external 2631 Core Storage. Model 2 had a 
capacity of 2 Mb, and you could attach up to four of them.

So if you were willing to settle for 8 microsecond memory, yes, you could have 8 
megabytes of core on a system that you could have ordered on the announcement 
date.

Interestingly, OS/360 had features for handling heterogeneous memory. You
could specify program sections to be loaded into slow core and others into
fast. Both the Linkage Editor and JCL allowed for it.

I'm not surprised. It's a good thing they did have some provision for that, 
otherwise there would be no point in this, because it would just slow the whole 
machine down.

But even with a manual provision like that, slow memory is very difficult to 
make use of properly, I would think. The way to use it to speed up a computer 
instead of slowing it down would be, for example, to use it as a RAM disk or as 
a disk cache.

Not enough to do much, but one usermod kept the SYSRES VTOC in core, IIRC.

I don't have my S/360 history in front of me, but if memory
serves, the development of the auxiliary core storage went
slowly and was not a successful product (please correct me
if I'm wrong).  

Further, I think the amount of storage available for S/360
varied over time.  For instance, on the low end, I think the
model 30 was offered with only 8k but later upgraded to 16k.
I suspect the large end had similar situations.  Anyway,
I suspect the "Functional Characteristics" for any given
S/360 model would be significantly revised over the years.

I never read Pugh's book on memory, which probably would
explain a lot.

A 30 with 8K?  What good would that be?  A minimum DOS Sysgen would use
ALL of that, more likely it would gen at around 10-12K.

As those systems came out, there was some confusion.  A shop I worked in
was running all their apps on 2 16K 14xx's.  The 30 showed up with 32K.
It' didn't take long to realize that wasn't going to cut it.  32K was a
miniumum.  If you wanted to run HLL compilers, you'd be better off with
64K.  If you wanted to run more than one job at a time, 64K was the
minimum.  In a few years, spoolers became common.  Even one job at a
time required 64K.

I told an IBM salesman once that IBM had so bollixed up the architecture
that our application programs were easily twice as large as they were on
the 14xx.  He checked with his technical people and had to concede the
point.

The places I worked at all had 32K. A /40 was more likely to have 64K.

I believe all the 30s I saw with 32K pretty quickly got upgraded to 64K.
One place hired me to do a DOS Sysgen so they could use the 64K they
just got upgraded to.

I ended up spending a very long weekend working out why it wouldn't
work.  After many hours I decoded the boot logic and single stepped
through boot until I got to the part where DOS cleared all memory
256 bytes at a time.

Then I saw the machine check when it first addressed the memory at 32K+1.

Definitely earned my consulting fee for that.

I worked at a few places that got the 3rd party model 30 upgrade that let
the machine address more than 64K.  The 30 was fast enough but 64K
wasn't really adequate for 2 batch regions running COBOL applications.
IBM, as always, was protecting it's income stream.  They must have known
that larger 30s were needed but they really wanted to sell the more
expensive 40, 50, 65s.

A 30 could easily keep 2 card readers and printers running all out.
Probably even 3 or 4.

Later I worked at a mailing operation.  They ran a dozen 1403s at once
but used a 65.

Wow, this was years ago, I'd guess 1969,
but that rings a bell.  I think you got it.

The memory was installed by IBM, the IBM CE came in and fixed it.
All we were seeing is the sysgen would work, but any attempt to boot
locked up the machine.
The reference the the bad memory caused a machine check and
all that did was try to run a non-existent machine check
PSW.  There was nothing in memory to even point at the
failing instruction.  Only single stepping thru the long core
clearing process turned on the lights.

Our 360-40 site installed POWER in a foreground partition
It was easy to installed and ran fine.  The productivity
improvement was amazing--almost doubling throughput.  No
programming changes to our applications were required.

I was amazed at how it somehow captured all unit record
I/O and stored it on disk for later handling, automatically.

Before POWER, it was obvious our CPU was I/O bound.
When reading and printing at full speed, the CPU wait light
was almost continuously on, indicating there were plenty of
CPU cycles available.

Fast forward to the future, there was a check printing
application in which the spooler was bypassed and
the checks printed 'hot'.

Typical. The ones I’ve seen the program would print a dummy check of all
“X”s for alignment and then ask the operator to verify and reply if OK, or
adjust and reprint again. None of this can be done thru a spooler (AFAIK).

The fun began when you tried to ensure that the computer-generated
cheque number lined up with the pre-printed ones on the cheques.
You'd pray that there were no forms jams and that the operator
didn't need too many tries to get things aligned.

I could not convince payroll that computer printed check numbers
instead of pre-printed would work.

They did keep track of every blank check by accounting for the check
numbers.  So perhaps they had a point.

I think auditors like to track by the pre-printed check numbers.
Everywhere I worked the operators had to account for every single
check, both used to align the printer, other waste, and actually
printed.

In some applications the pre-printed check number was to match
the computer generated check number.

Checks had a lot of controls.  Apparently they were necessary
since forgery and theft could be a problem.

When we added memory to our 360-40, they screwed up the jumper
and memory access was screwy until it was fixed.

Or maybe it was like the Univac salesmen who consistently low-balled
memory requirements to get a low bid.  Many customers found themselves
buying memory expansions they were told they'd never need, after their
new installation bogged down.  Eventually even the documentation admitted
to memory requirements of various packages being more than they originally
claimed.

Besides, the memory size limits on the various 360 processors were
largely self-imposed.  At worst it took a bit of work with a soldering
iron to work around them.  I once used a 360/30 with 128K of core; the
switch and indicator for the extra address bit had a definite home-brewed
look to them.

Greyhound computer bought up a lot of 360/30 processors that had come
off lease, and hung as much as 512K on them.

They say IBM lowballed, too (see above).

FWIW, our 90/30 was adequately configured.  I think we had 256k.
Of course, we weren't doing very much online work, it was mostly
batch and single stream.

Anyone know how a bus company got into computers?

Luxury!  I don't know whether any 90/30 shop here in Vancouver had
256K.  Most were 192K; there were some 128K shops, but they were
uncomfortably tight.

This didn't stop Univac from advertising that their equivalent of
CICS (confusingly called IMS/90) could run in as little as 32K.
The fine print mentioned that this was for a system running three
terminals doing simple inquiries into a single ISAM file.  And in
subsequent releases they admitted you needed 64K for even that.

(Actually, make that "65K".  Since this is sales literature,
the "salesman's K" is used throughout.  Where else but in the
wild and wacky world of marketing could you add 32 and 32 to
get 65?)
