Well, that presses all my nostalgia buttons at once! The 360/22 was the first computer I programmed or operated. We ran HASP RJE on it, and then (once we got to a full 64K of core memory) ran DOS/360 release 26.2 - though at one point I did an OS/360 PCP install. You could watch it go CPU-busy parsing a DD statement.... Not the fastest machine!
I think the only technical differences between the 30 and the 22 was that the 22 was lobotomized enough to reduce the maximum RAM you could put on it, and had slowed-down channels so you could attach 2311s but not 2314s. -- Jeff > The 360-22 was a very late model of the 360 series, introduced after > the 370s were available (perhaps 1972?).
