COS--that's the name I was trying to think of.  I think that there was the ability to run COS under DOS also.  I think I remember using some kind of DOS JCL card that set UPSI (user program switch indicators), that, I think, emulated a set of 7 or so toggle switches on the 1401.  DOS/COS kind of triggers a memory. Jim John Bellomy wrote: The 360/30 had a "COS" compatibility operating system that was IPL'ed on the model 30, and then loaded a 1401 program deck. I operated this system for almost a year. It was a simulator that I used back in 1968 time frame. Then when we got a 360/65 running MVS 21.6 there was a emulator that ran as a batch job. I remember having to turn on the 1401 sense switches on the 1051 operator console via a WTOR message. -----Original Message----- =46rom: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Huegel, Thomas Sent: Friday, May 22, 2009 10:16 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: IBM 1401: was Re: z/VM 5.4 VSAM question - PJBR On 360/25 there was a CSL (Control Storage Load)deck that could be loaded and then 1401 code ran 'native', no underlying DOS or OS system.=20 There was an emulator for 360/30 and 360/40 (DOS/26) we also ran 1401 programs on a 370/138. On the 138 I believe it was a simulator not an emulator ..

It was a h/w or mc based feature. I don't know whether larger machines had it. There was also a 1410 emulator mode on the -40. I do not know of any 1401 support that ran under DOS, but my DOS experience is miniscule.=20 There was a nifty package named DOS Under O/S (DUO) that allowed you to run DOS jobs under O/S MFT and VS1. It was developed by an IBM SE who lived somewhere in Texas. When IBM did not want the product, he sold it to Computer Associates (way before they changed the name to CA) where it was called CA-2 (IIRC). He died in an automobile accident not long after making the sale.
