To refresh my memory was the 370 the first public machine that
used the HSB? My memory says yes but as we have seen the POPS and
FUNC manual are indeed different. There were quite a few machines
I had no exposure to like the 44 and the 67 and the (1)95 among
others

I remember that the 44 I worked with had high-speed general
registers, but I was green enough that I didn't know what effect
they had. I don't recall any mention of high-speed buffers in my 44
or 67 days, but I was still pretty green at the time so I can't be
sure. I remember that on our 44, we had three high-speed channels,
but they were all byte-multiplexors; unit-record stuff on 0, 2314
DASD on 1 and 2401 tapes on 2.

FYI according to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the model 85 was the 1st 360 to have
a HSB.
