Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. OS/360, officially known as IBM System/360 Operating System, was a group of batch processing operating systems developed by IBM for their then-new System/360 mainframe computer, announced in 1964. They were among the earliest operating systems to make direct access storage devices a prerequisite for their operation. The other major operating system for System/360 hardware was DOS/360. IBM originally intended that System/360 should have only one batch-oriented operating system, OS/360. It also intended to supply a separate timesharing operating system, TSS/360. There are at least two accounts of why IBM eventually decided to produce other, simpler batch-oriented operating systems: because it found that OS/360 would not fit into the limited memory available on the smaller System/360 models; or because it realized that the development of OS/360 would take much longer than expected.
