Been too long. Guess in late sixties we had a 360/50 as play machine. Mostly MVT but some RAX and for 'big' programs PCP. Anyway, we ordered a 'model' tape from Sandia Labs that was supposed to be 'very precise' transistor library for SCEPTRE design(like ECAP and PCAP). One of the checks was 360 format from a 709x. After a few aborts we dumped a few records and figured out there was an extra bit. So back to the Krystal and more cogitation. So in walks master of bits and says how easy it is with just translate instruction. Velly happy EE professors... In a message dated 6/11/2013 10:03:55 A.M.

So I see VBS as beginning with the S/360.
