What specifically are you referring to here?
That I observed mainframes still in use in commercial contexts?
Or my speculation that this might meanwhile have changed?
Or that the reason for not having done a change was something else?

I've worked in several business areas were mainframes had been used.
* The computing centers I was aware of changed their architectures
   from mainframe architectures to clusters.
* The telcos down-scaled the [amount of] metal, yet increased their
   throughput by switching away from mainframes. They made the change
   because they also needed a lot contemporary new functions supported
   and it was far too costly and much more effort to do that on legacy
   mainframe hardware.
* The business area I worked in where there were still running some
   mainframes did so primarily because of the mentioned reasons. That
   was 20 years ago, so that's the reason why I said that things "may"
   have meanwhile changed. If they need to runs (similar to the telcos)
   significant amounts of new functions they have to do the calculation
   whether it pays to do that on the old systems. And they have to take
   into consideration whether they have (or can find) programmers for
   old legacy languages as far as the legacy software is concerned; two
   decades ago we didn't find any COBOL programmers for those tasks and
   I'd expect that the situation got even worse meanwhile.
* Most (all?) internet providers I've heard of aren't using mainframes
   but built their systems architecture based on (often Linux-)clusters.

There must be reasons to change a running mainframe system. As said,
such a transition process can be risky and is costly (without instant
gain of any new functions). The reasons I've heard from the financial
sectors, i.e. not to switch, were exactly those.

I'm also a bit astonished about your mention of using mainframes for
efficient I/O. Networking clusters appear to me to be much better able
than a single mainframe instance. The older mainframe architectures we
used also had a lot of peripheral processors to specifically handle
the I/O.

(But of course I can, as I did, just report about the (certainly non-
singular) cases I was involved in or heard from reliable sources.)

   This may change sooner or later - all replaced

True, but back in 1970 there wasn't a lot of networking happening,
largely because people hadn't really figured it out yet.  Mainframe
I/O capacity was prodigious at the time - early minis could hardly
manage the megabyte-per-second speeds that mainframes dealt with
routinely.  Consider that while the mini people were making a big
thing of DMA, the term was unheard of in the mainframe world -
mainframers just took it for granted.

The mainframe world had “channels”, which were practically autonomous
controllers with their own ability to obey complex sequences of
program instructions while the CPU was busy doing application stuff.

The mini people were spending a lot of time building systems which
could efficiently respond to a CPU interrupt on every user keystroke.
Even the thought of that would have filled mainframers with horror.

Yes, there is a dichotomy there.  Mainframe protocols were designed
for sending files across a continent, while mini protocols were
designed for sending characters across the room.  Compromises were
made on both sides.

That’s not the dichotomy. The dichotomy was that mainframes were
optimized for throughput at the expense of latency, while
minicomputers concentrated on minimizing latency to maximize
interactive responsiveness at the expense of throughput.

   Yep ! Even the old mainframes were "smart" - lots
   of optimizations that only later migrated down.

   System interrupts PER-KEYSTROKE ??? Horrible !

   The "minis" were pretty good all in all, had a
   definite 'place'. Lots made. Had some experience
   with the TI-990 minis. Super-funky hardware-
   based multi-user scheme with RAM-based registers.
   Hey, good at the time !

   I guess you COULD call the PDP-11 a "mini", but
   imho it didn't have quite the "feel". More like
   a cut-down mainframe. Good peripheral bus though,
   you could plug in all kinds of goodies.

   OLD mainframes were, well, OLD. Modern versions
   have MANY I/O/net ports. E-Commerce is assumed.
   10k user connections at once, no problems.

   Things HAVE moved on since 1961 after all ...

   The age of the "mainframe" may be coming to an
   end alas. 'Cluster'/AI solutions are going to
   replace them for most uses. However science/govt
   still have uses for big ultra-powerful boxes
   for awhile anyway. SOME advantage in keeping
   access 'local' too - as opposed to spread all
   over the highly-vulnerable net.

   Oh well, maybe I can buy one of those big black
   IBM units for really cheap in a few years ?
   CANDY !!!

I know what you mean.  I don't think I'll ever actually
use that pair of tape drives I have sitting in the hangar -
but they're a good conversation piece.

If  your hands-on is building boards out of TTL in 100 quantities it 
isn't necessarily relevant to competing with mass produced motherboards 
and Intel chipsets made in millions. Or designing you own µprocessor.

PCs just swept the opposition away.

And Microsoft surfed the wave to corporate dominance in an era of me-too 
hardware.

Unix staggered on for multi-user systems till Linus said 'fuck this for 
a game of soldiers'...

Even ARM was initially a desperate attempt to create s 'better 6502' for 
the ultra low end home/educational computers, designed to use as few 
transistors as a struggling British company could afford to have fabbed.

In the tradition of proper engineering it was 'doing for five bob what 
any damn fool can do for a quid'...and its ultra low hardware footprint 
and elegant instruction set made it first of all incredibly cheap for 
embedded use, and ultimately de facto for low power consumption. An 
entirely unintentional side effect of trying to make it CHEAP.

Like Microsoft, it happened to be standing in the right place at the 
right time.

People like to represent themselves as genius visionaries: But my 
experience is more  that its a simple question of being in the right 
place at the right time, and the only smarts is in recognising that.

The rise of LSI in the 70s made minicomputers possible. The rise of mass 
produced microprocessors in the 1980s made them irrelevant.

And the 90s was really all about software.

I've posted it before but the PALM was IBM's last shot at LSIs for low end 
business systems. The 5120 successor, the System/23 used the Intel 8085.

Did you read it?  He agrees with what you said.  The staff was fantastic, the
upper management and board failed.  I presume you know who he was, not just
some random guy.

Being familiar with its effects on those who I knew in the 70s, I could 
see evidence of it everywhere.

The rictus smile. The cruelty. The arrogance.

Think Aztec priests and human sacrifice

Who DIDN'T have a giant coke habit then?

There was a certain scene in _Die Hard_ (1988) which exemplified
the 80's, particularly on the west coast.

Back in the day minicomputers, built of LSI TTL and Schotttky TTL were 
all there was below mainframes

Almost none of the manufacturers survived the microprocessor

A few people built µP based multi-user computers or high performance 
workstations. Sun, Irix, HP... etc

But it was so much easier to take a standard PC and shove a *86 *nix OS 
on it rather than build custom hardware.

Even IBM went that route.

Without some USP other than hardware it was hard to sell such systems.

Only SUN really survived. And where are they now?

Well, we can say that Solaris got forked.  The enterprise behemoth got
the trade mark, the open source edition got the people.

So Illumos is still around, and doing well all things considered.


I personally wish them well.

I was forced by the system to take first year of engineering at the 
university in my province. All engineering had the same first year. Once 
we (if!) we passed, we could actually choose what college to continue 
in. So, when I arrived to Madrid for my second year (I think that was in 
the 83), a friend told me that the computer building that was shared by 
all in the campus had switched from cards to terminals, and that I had 
just missed it.

And he described me the nightmare that first/second year students had to 
suffer to get their stack of cards punched and executed. Could take days.

(I think that the school in which he did the first year had some 
computer thing in the Maths course, but I don't remember well what he 
told me)

Strong words. And absurd time scales. They certainly don't match my
observations. All of us did our punch cards based coding often just
during the pauses between the lectures; the basic code maybe in an
hour, the fixes - usually just one or two iterations needed - done
during the "cum tempore" 10 minutes. But most programming in those
early beginner courses also wasn't too voluminous, to be fair.

What certainly was painful was the (for obvious reasons) inherent
non-existence of a <Del> or <Backspace> key on the punch devices.
(They had a useful "Copy" key (<Dup>?), though.)[*]

BTW, a "nightmare" I considered the keyboards that came with the
VT100 series of terminals! (My fingers still ache if I only think
back of these days!) Luckily these times passed fast.

Janis, now back at his Model-M keyboard clone

[*] IIRC, they looked like (or may even have been) these devices:
https://mimmsmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Punchcard-708x1024.jpg
(For those who couldn't imagine what we dinosaurs are talking about.) :-)
Still amazing seeing images of these devices again after all those
many decades.

I don't remember if my friend punched his own code, or had it punched. 
Would depend on how many punch machines they had for lowly students.

I remember his saying that he had to submit his stack of cards to a 
clerk, then given a paper slip to collect the results another day.
