As I recall, some of the "registers" actually had hard-coded values; they could be used as base registers but little else. I have no idea what happened if you tried storing into them. That alone supports your "grossly incompatable" assertion. It didn't even bother to pretend its linkage conventions were the same as s/360. It used something other than the s/360 linkage instructions BAL and BALR (BAS and BASR, as I recall).
