As for single hardware line, IBM introduced more incompatible hardware families after the S/360 than they had before it. Given the lack of relocation hardware, "solved all of the shortcomings" seems a bit strange; 24-bit addressing makes "virtually unlimited storage" totally over the top. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
