Now you are talking. My earliest experience of IBM was on a 360/67 at
Durham University (it was shared with Newcastle) and they ran MTS (Michigan
Terminal System). Most of the terminals were golfball typewriters,
although there were a few 2260s around. The machine had 2MB RAM and an
11MB fixed head drum, and you could really feel when the total virtual
memory requirement went over 13M as it moved its paging out to 3330, then
to 2314, then in deparation to tape, and on one wonderful occasion to
punched card (it used 64 columns for data and 16 as a pattern which it
displayed on the console when it asked for the right cards back).
There were I think a total of about 100 terminals on the whole system,
Durham was run through some 1130s which also acted as RJE stations.

Or the oil leaks from the 2314s... (I don't think voice coils were really
used until the 3330, were they?)
Actually, wouldn't you have preferred the /67 which had the DAT box so you
could run CP/CMS?
