We (TAB of NSW as it was then) had a pair of these old dears(360/44s,
that is). We actually had the 'Commercial Feature" which gave you
LM/STM, BXLE and BXH implemented in hardware, but the storage-to-torage

By 1979, 360/75s were 13-14 years old. TUCC in RTP, NC got one of
the very first early in 1966. I was told in 1967 by one of the CEs
in residence at TUCC that it wasn't the first one out of the barn,
but it was nearly so. We knew that NASA had ordered five,
The two 360/75s in building 3/14 of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center were not
replaced until the early 1980's - along with the 360/95. The old 360s were
still the primary tracking support systems for the first couple Space Shuttle
missions.

The Model 75 was the smallest machine that implemented the System/360
instruction set in hardware, so it was correspondingly expensive.
Let's not forget the 360/44. Except for the LM/STM/BXLE/BXH and

The System/360 Model 75 was not an UNcommon machine (as were
the Models 91, 95, 85 and 195) but it was not exactly common.
Only VERY large shops would feel the

I went to the University of Waterloo (1976-1980), and I was told it was a
360/40, at the time.
But, I do remember when it was replaced with a 303x machine.

I did see a shiny new 360/75 at Gulf Research, probably in 1967.
