More precisely, Macrocode was implemented on the 580 series, which included the 5860, 5870 and 5880. The 5860 was a uniprocessor and was the first to be delivered. The 5870 and 5880 were two processor machines. IIRC, the 5870 had channels physically located on only one side, though both sides could address them. Eventually, there was also a 5850, which was a slowed down 5860. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
