[edit] Question
does it still support DOS/VSE and MUSIC SP? (i assume it would under z/VM at least)...
[edit] 24-bit System-360
Calling it "the 24-bit System/360" may be confusing. Perhaps this term was used because of the 24-bit addressing; if a reference to this is what the author had in mind, perhaps there are other ways to express it. The width of the data path varied among the models; for example, the 360 model 50 had a 32-bit data path. Jim 21:00, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- I changed it to "24-bit-addressing/32-bit-data System/360", as that is presumably what the author had in mind. (The width of the registers and "words" are probably more relevant than the data path widths here.) Guy Harris 03:25, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What was the System/390?
The article says "zSeries/z9 servers succeeded the IBM System/390 (S/390 for short)", but System/390 is a redirect to this article. Tempshill 22:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
- It was a 32-bit line (unlike the 64-bit zSeries). It should probably have its own page. Guy Harris 09:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
This article sounds like an advertisement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.211.25.9 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC).
- That's correct, I de-adverted the page. --85.124.203.218 21:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] move to 'IBM System z'
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was Move. Ewlyahoocom has a point indeed, but just as a matter of consistency, the move would be better. Duja► 14:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
This page should be moved to IBM System z, and the article should be updated to reflect the current naming convention. This has already been done for the other IBM System brands such as IBM System i, IBM System p, IBM System x and IBM System Storage —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.165.3.128 (talk) 11:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, so i have requested this at Wikipedia:Requested moves#16 September 2007. Foobaz·o< 00:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose we should wait to see if IBM is going to change the name back -- we shouldn't have to jump every time they decide to re-arrange the furniture. Ewlyahoocom 07:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
[edit] 40 year MTBF
is there a reference to the source of the 40 year mtbf? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.54.37 (talk) 19:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
