I think this guy has something he wants to sell because while PARS was developed on a 7074, in the early 1970's it was evolved by IBM into ACP and TPF.
The 360/65 and some other 360 and 370 machines had the capability to run a 7074 emulator, I don't think any machine has those emulators any more. There is no way a 7074 could handle the load of today's reservation systems. I tend to put his article in the "Let's scare the heck out of people and see if I can get some business" grouping.
