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
