I wonder if anyone knows what has to change to move a 1403
from 50Hz to 60Hz?
If they use synchronous motors, then some belts or gears
would be different.
For transformers, you need more iron in the core for 50Hz,
so 50Hz transformers should be fine at 60Hz, but not always
the other way around.

Probably some real terminals, and a terminal server for people
not close enough.

OK, I forgot that the Usenet gateway doesn't work anymore.
I am wondering what software one needs for a 3705 to connect
up ordinary ASCII terminals.
For example, what would be needed to use TSO or Wylbur on
ASCII terminals? I know this is what was done 35 years
ago, but I don't know now who know

Just wondering, does anyone know where a copy of the RPG compiler
for the 360/20 is? Presumably on cards, but maybe some other form.
Other 360/20 software could also be useful, but mostly if it
doesn't need disk or tape.

Two different questions.
If you:

printf("%d", 3);
the d won't be replaced. That is, in preprocess

Who says that XR is faster than SR?
I know the IBM OS/360 software and compilers generate SR
instead of XR.
