Just like the Cray supercomputer, it also uses a motor-generator that boosts its frequency from 60Hz to 450Hz.

Will it run crysis?

HOW ALL IBM 360'S BECAME GOLD JEWELRY AND 370'S WENT TO LAND FILLS On long Island ny, lake ronkonkama their was a computer refurbishing and storage facility that was used by all the leasing companies in the USA. They would give free storage of 370/360's to leasing companies until the machines were resold or released and they would get the refurbishing jobs.(that was their business plan free storage to get clients). when i was at the wharehouse they had 500 370's, 100 360's.( it was larger thatn any ibm wharehouse i have ever been in.(ibm used local wharehouses, in nyc obies had about 20 370's in storage in LIC. To refurbish a 370(painting and testing) usually cost $2,000 to $10,000. The owner name was lenny he was very difficult to deal with. Parts from 360's/370's were interchangeable so i need parts to service 10 system 3's i had on lease in NYC and 3 sys 3's that i used in my service bureau. lenny was suppose to sell me a 360 and a 370 for part for $500 each. When i got there with one of my engineers to break down the computers and salvage the parts, he doubled the price!!! So columbia was junking their 360/91(original price 3 million), i call the junk dealer (he was from south dakota) and he sold me 360/370 card for $1 each and disk drive head for $1 each, and i did not have to spend a day breaking down any machines and paying to remove the frames.(This was 1984) The ibm 360 had a bout $20,000 worth of gold plating and we would sell a 360 to scrap dealer/gold refiners in tiwan, they would pay $2000 each. so almost all 360's went to tiwan and were scrapped for their gold. The 370's did not have any gold, IBM used palladium platted contacts. their was about $500 worth of palladium in a 370 computer. So ALL 370'S WERE WORTHLESS TO SCRAP DEALERS AND USUALLY WENT TO A LAND FILL. IN THE 1980'S I WOULD CHARGE A CUSTOMER $2000 TO DISASSEMBLE A 370 AND PACK IT FOR SHIPMENT(IBM WOULD CHARGE $10,000 TO DO THE SAME JOB). THE COMPUTER WOULD USUALLY BE SOLD FOR $500 OR THE CUSTOMER WOULD PAY A JUNK DEALER TO TAKE IT TO A LAND FILL (370'S HAD NO SCRAP VALUE). SO LENNY HAD OVER 500 370'S HE HAD TO LANDFILL WHEN HE WENT BANKRUPT. (NOT A VERY GOOD BUSINESS PLAN) SO IF DON PAID MORE THAN $500 FOR HIS 370, HE OVER PAID!!! IBM HAD A GREAT TROUBLE SHOOTING SYSTEM. TO FIX A 360/370 USUALLY TOOK ME 3 HOURS. TO FIX A PC LAPTOP OR SERVER USUALLY TAKES ME 3 HOURS. WE HAD RCA/ UNIVAC COMPUTERS THAT USED CONVENTIONAL WIRING DIAGRAMS AND IT USUALLY TOOK 1 TO 3 DAYS TO FIX AN RCA 301. IF DON HAS ALL THE BLUE BOOKS(DIAGRAMS) THEN IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT 12 HOURS TO INSTALL HIS 370 SYSTEM. MOST REPAIRS ON A 370/360 WERE OVER HEATING OR BAD CONTACTS. YOU WOULD FIND THE BAD CARD AND JUST CLEAN IT WITH ALCOHOL AND RE PLUG THE CARD AND THE TROUBLE WOULD DISAPPEAR!!! IBM FINALLY SOLVED THE CONTACT PROBLEM IN THE PC, THEY USE A SCREW TO HOLD THE CARD IN TIGHT!!!! IT ONLY TOOK 20 YEARS FOR IBM TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM!!!!!

Noisy and slow, took ages to get something done, only high trained personnel was capable of operating these molochs. And then the costs, a hard drive costed something like a mansion on a tropical island mainframe costed something like that tropical island itself.

8MB memory and 6 gig storage ? who would ever need that much? 64 k and a Datasette are more than enough.

For only 7 million… no wonder the Apple II and soon IBM PC took over

Ok😅❤

I’m curious about the crossfeed that happens at the last couple minutes of the video. It’s very faint and sounds like someone is speaking in reverse. What kind of medium did this come off of?…..or is it imprinting from the tape closest to it?

Fantastic! Takes me back to the mid 70's

This vid is very misleading, stuck on the universal prompt

This is 2024.... Runnnnnnn

6250 BPI does not mean bytes per inch it means bits per inch

How can I download, from docusign, many documents at the same time?

And now my phone has ten times the capacity of that entire room.

I was there, worked as an operator in martin Hall. Breagan terminals and 3033's with 8MB of storage!! This was the main building, as I remember it.

Why ? Why the beard and the glasses ! 😂

I'm old cus I remember this. 🤣

Anyone else stuck on the Universal prompt page?

Wow drum style memory still existed in 1980. Ahh the 2305 was already end of sale by 1980 it came out in 1970. The last of the drum era.

3033 was announced I believe in 1977 and was a big deal back in the day.

If you want one of these for your own, just fork over 4.5Mil$$ - or run Hercules and install TK4- a pre-configured MVS 3.8j for free.

I burned my eyes out on those monitors for many years LOL

In this day and age of solid state storage, are spinning rust disks considered sequentially accessed media? You still have to wait for the disk with the correct data to rotate and pass under the read/write heads, whereas solid state truly is random access, as there is effectively zero latency for access.

Oh, 1980. You so crazy!

Thanks for the wonderful film of old computer tech. Today, a $15 "Raspberry PI zero 2 w" linux computer can run IBM MVS 3.8 at the same performance level of a 1979 IBM 3033.

The way he said modem!

Might want to edit down the tail end a bit. Great stuff otherwise.

PL/1 is the language of the future!

The ladies job is basically staring at htop all day?!?

Very nostalgic. My early education and professional careers were “punched out” on systems such as this. Unix systems became my bread and butter later and remain so. Thank you for the nice trip down memory lane. It’s amazing how many important systems were birthed on this type of hardware.

When I was a little kid, my mom worked from home and had a big machine in our basement and she entered data on punch cards, kind of like a typewriter.

Very cool.. we have come along way.. I think some current kitchen appliances have more computing capabilities.

Is 8 megabytes the ram or the CPU’s cache?

I remember seeing pictures of a 3 MB hard drive from the 1960s that was being carried by a forklift! We’ve come a LONG way!

The "UPs!" system!

Well explained in detail😁

11:51 Will suffocate anyone who's stuck in the computer room, but won't damage the computers.

The singing printer is awesome

It's amazing to think that a computer with 8mb of memory could do all those things and support all of those agencies.

Very helpful, thanks!
