IBM's 360 and early 370 systems - Pugh, Emerson W. (MIT Press, 1991)
Includes bibliographical references (p. [679]-791) and index
No new product offering has had greater impact on the computer industry than the IBM System/360. IBM's 360 and Early 370 Systems describes the creation of this remarkable system and the developments it spawned, including its successor, System/370. The authors tell how System/360's widely-copied architecture came into being and how IBM failed in an effort to replace it ten years later with a bold development effort called FS, the Future System. --from publisher description
