  IBM 1800 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IBM 1800 was a process control variant of the IBM 1130 with two extra instructions (CMP and DCM) and extra I/O capabilities.
Unlike the 1130, which was a desk-like unit, the 1800 is packaged in typical IBM racks.
As of February 2006 4 IBM 1800s were still in operation at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station in Pickering, Ontario, Canada.

 IBM History and Stanford
At the time of the appearance of the IBM 360-series most computing was centralized and operated by the Stanford Computation Center, which consisted of three facilities: a `Campus facility', an operation at SLAC, with eventually an IBM 360-91, and a system, ACME, running a 360-50 dedicated to real-time computing in the Medical School.
At IBM the successor for the 7700 was the IBM 1800, and one of those mchines was in use in the medical school ACME project in 1967.
IBM 360-50 system as its main computer, an IBM 1800 for data acquisition and distribution, IBM 2701 interfaces for various laboratory computers, and a home-built network for terminals in the laboratories.

 ibm - definition by dict.die.net
IBM /I-B-M/ Once upon a time, the computer company most hackers loved to hate; today, the one they are most puzzled to find themselves liking.
What galled hackers about most IBM machines above the PC level wasn't so much that they were underpowered and overpriced (though that counted against them), but that the designs were incredibly archaic, crufty, and elephantine...
To the astonishment of all parties, IBM emerged as a staunch friend of the hacker community and open source development.

The IBM System/7 was a computing system designed to acquire physical data such as voltage, current, temperature, pressure and other measurements directly from instrumentation and devices.
More comprehensive applications or those requiring data integrated with a management information system could be handled by a multisystem arrangement of several System/7s working in concert with an IBM System/370, or by communicating with another System/7, IBM System/3, most models of the IBM System/360, IBM System/370, IBM 1130 and IBM 1800 systems.

 The IBM family of APL systems - APL programming language - Cover Story IBM Systems Journal - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The developmental history of IBM subfamilies of APL systems is traced in this paper, focusing on the inter-relationships among them and the methods of implementation used by the various groups involved.
In the 25 years since the first viable APL system was introduced outside of IBM, offerings of APL systems spanning most of the significant hardware families have been produced at a rate of more than one per year.
This work went remarkably well, resulting in an integrated system, APL\360,[6] with excellent performance characteristics.[7] The system was operational about three months after work was started, and the three implementers who did the bulk of the programming were later to receive an industry award for their work.

 IBM, Dell Debut 64-bit Xeon Servers - Technology News by TechWeb
For its part, IBM introduced eight new xSeries systems based on Intel's Xeon Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) processor, dubbed the "Nocona." The machines include a both one- and two-way servers, a new blade server, and a debut workstation.
McRae claimed that IBM had the edge of rivals Dell and HP in the innovation department -- "Innovation is alive and well in this market," he said -- with such new features as improved cooling, simpler swapping of SATA hard drives, and support for IBM's management console, Director 4.2.
Among the servers that IBM introduced Monday were both rack-mounted and tower one-way and two-way systems -- the racked devices coming in both 1U and 2U formats -- as well as the Intellistation Z Pro workstation and the BladeCenter HS20.

IBM withdrew support for the IBM 1500 in 1980 and the efforts of the people in DERS became redirected towards finding a replacement and porting courses to the new system.
Terminals that were connected to the IBM 1500 had to be located within a very short distance of the central computer, and were connected to it by a couple of 1 inch thick cables.

IBM described the product as the “highest-level language used in data processing today,” and as “the easiest to learn, easiest to use, easiest to maintain, fastest to code, and most machine-independent, problem-oriented computer language available.” Because of these properties, RPG is arguably the second-most popular programming language of all time, behind only COBOL (qv).
IBM’s RPG II software and its symbolic language itself were usually bundled with a compiler deck and library of subroutines, and was available for monthly lease.
RPG II also worked on the IBM 1130, the IBM 1800, the RCA Spectra 70, as well as on the Univac 9200/9300 Series.

Beginning in the early 60's with the IBM 1800, one of the first "industrial control" computers, IBM invested millions in development of industrial control computers and supervisory control software.
Unfortunately, their efforts in the early 80's such as the PCS (sic) system installed in several oil refinerys (including ESSO in Edmonton, Canada), were less than commercial successes, and IBM retreated from the industrial market to concentrate on more lucrative commercial MIS systems.
In the late 80's IBM re-entered this market with their industrial "Gearbox" computer and several software products which were eventually consolidted in the "POMS" (Plant Optimization and Management System).
