256 KiB? We ran OS/360 PCP on a 128 KiB machine[1]. With 256 KiB we were
able to run MFT II for production.

Why? The TN train was available[2] for the 1403-N1. Did you have only 1443
printers or 1403 printers older than the Nancy One?
>Lower case was out of the question.
Why?
[1] Well, we did IPL on a 64 KiB machine, but not for production.
[2] Yes, it was slower than AN, HN or PN.
