IBM System/370 Model 165
open-in-new
<p>The IBM System/370 Model 165 (and the <a href="/facts/IBM_System/370_Model_155/wjj5t9G9">Model 155</a>) were jointly announced June 30, 1970 as "designed for ... the Seventies." That same day IBM announced the 370/195. They were the first three models of the <a href="/facts/IBM_System/370/TRo1jaFw">IBM System/370</a> line of computers. </p><p>Since none of them came with <a href="/facts/Virtual_memory/Lw2GemF5">virtual memory</a>, "which was to be a hallmark of the 370 line", some said about these early members of the <a href="/facts/IBM_System/370/TRo1jaFw">IBM System/370</a> family, especially about the 165 and 155, that they were not "the real 370 line." </p><p>Three months later a fourth IBM System/370, the <a href="/facts/IBM_System/370_Model_145/gC2TYfWm">Model 145</a>, was announced. </p>
