Hi Shmuel:
I guess I always thought that Sequential Scheduling System (SSS or
S-cubed) and PCP were synonymous. I do remember the transition to MFT
and MVT. I attended IBM programming classes starting in April of 1966.
The first release of OS/360 had just been shipped and we were
programming on the same emulator that had been used to develop OS/360
itself.
My first job out of programming school was programming a hypervisor and
an internal IBM product on OS/360 release 2. This was at the IBM lab in
Poughkeepsie, NY.
I don't recall the ill-fated VMS (other than VAX/VMS), if there was an
IBM VMS, can you fill me in?
I did work on the ill-fated FS (Future System) after participating in
the design and development of MVS release 1. And I worked on the
ill-fated VM/XB, which was a rival of VM/XA and was based on TSS/360
nucleus concepts. That was my last project at IBM, as I quit to become a
consultant, due to my dissatisfaction with the project as a whole. That
was in 1984.

To begin, MFT is pretty ancient (although I was a sysprog for its
predecessor, SSS - OS/360 release 2).
ITYM MSS; SSS became PCP.
Did you ever work on the ill-fated VMS?
