Systems we plan to discuss here include:
-
The IBM 1500, an 1130-based educational system supporting dozens of
light-pen terminals with multimedia capabilities—far, far
ahead of its time, and a model for later systems like PLATO.
-
The IBM 1800 (shown), a process-control variant of the 1130 with two
extra instructions and extra I/O capabilities
-
The IBM System/7, which was used with 1130's for data acquisition
-
The IBM 1620, which is the 1130's most obvious predecessor as an IBM
“personal computer”
-
The IBM System/360, which was the development ground for much of the
technology used in the 1130
-
Earlier IBM unit-record systems, much of whose technology and
mindset percolated into the 1130
-
IBM 1130-compatible systems like the GA 1830/DMS, the CHI 2130, and
the DSC Meta-4
