Just wondering. What hardware first supported PCs? Tony Thigpen

Institutional inertia is a problem in most mainframe shops. The PC-based machinery that made SVCs obsolescent is now, however, more than twenty years old. It is time, and long past time, that ab-initio code use this 'new' machinery instead of SVCs. By all means consult the SHARE archives; but it is even more important that you write some code and yourself work through the difficulties that will, I suppose inevitably, arise as you test it. Even in the short term you will find the experience liberating. There is much less now irrelevant historical baggage to carry forward with you. -- John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
