Not quite; MFT and MVT were options of OS/360 once things stabilized.
You ordered the same tapes whether you wanted PCP, MFT or MVT.
>OS/VS2 morphed to OS/SVS and then OS/MVS
No, although AOS/1 and AOS/2 morphed to OS/VS1 and OS/VS2. SVS is
OS/VS2 Release 1 and MVS is OS/VS2 Release 2 and later; there is no
OS/SVS or OS/MVS.
>starting in the 1980s.
OS/VS1, SVS and MVS were all available in the 1970's. Even MVS/SE (but
not SE2 or SP) was available in 1979.
