Not enough caffeine...should be VM/XA

vm370 (and CMS) shipped with 3310 and 3370 support when the devices first 
became available in the 70s.

3310/piccolo was used by the 3081 service process (running custom programming on microprocessor) ... 
including "paging device" for 3081 "paged" microcode ... old post discussing SIE 
instruction implementation trade-offs between 3081 and 3090 (including 3081 would be "paging" part 
of the
microcode)

I don't remember for sure whether FBA (3370) was used by the 3090 service 
processor or not.
The 3090 service processor started out being a highly customized version of 
vm370 release 6 running on 4331 processor . Before FCS, 3090 service processor 
was upgraded to high customized version of vm370 release 6 running on a pair of 
4361 processors (with service processor menu screens implemented in CMS's 
IOS3270).
