  Porting DPPX from the IBM 8100 to the IBM ES/9370: feasibility and overview - DPPX operating system IBM Systems ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Porting DPPX from the IBM 8100 to the IBM ES/9370: Feasibility and overview The DPPX/SP operating system was converted from its original implementation on the IBM 8100 Information System architecture to a new implementation--DPPX/370--on the System/370 architecture of the ES/9370 Information System processors.
The 8100 processors were relatively inexpensive, occupied little space, and were capable of being run in an operatorless environment.
In addition to the 8100 there were the System/36, the System/38, the Series/1, the 4300 family, and even the personal computer, with a total of ten operating systems among them] Ohter products had in fact added many of the features that had made DPPX and the 8100 unique.

 Color convergence data processing in a CRT color display station - Patent 4451824
However, in the IBM 3270 system, this is only provided if the control unit recognizes that it is connected to a color display station which has received and properly stored the electrical color convergence signals that were transmitted to it.
In the prior IBM 3279 display station, a multicolor visual display can only be provided after the IBM color control unit 3274 with configuration support C has received confirmation that electrical convergence signals have been received and properly stored by the IBM display station 3279.
It should be noted that this corresponds to the operation of the IBM 3270 system and the operation of the IBM 3274 control unit with IBM support configuration C. Typically the convergence data is transmitted in a sequence of blocks of convergence information.

 NOW IBM UK 8100 USERS GIVE THE THUMBS DOWN TO DPPX ON THE 9370 - CBRonline.com
IBM last week announced details of how 8100 users will be able to maintain at least some of their investment in applications via the 9370 - see p3 alongside - but if the UK users we talked to are any guide, it has come much too late.
In the UK most 8100 users seem to have already decided that there is little point continuing to invest in the software for IBM's first ever distributed offering, although some users do plan to migrate what they've got onto DPPX/370.
Another 8100 user, Grants of St James, admitted that it was locked into the IBM distributed processing environment because it cannot afford to abandon the investment made in developing applications under DPPX.

 IBM 8100 - Free net encyclopedia
This, coupled with IBM's recognition that they had too many hardware and software systems with similar processing power and function, led to announcement in March 1986 that the 8100 line would not be expanded and a new System/370 compatible processor line, ES/9370, would be provided to replace it.
In March 1987, IBM announced that it intended to provide in 1989 a version of DPPX/SP that would run on the new ES/9370.
The 8100 also supported a terminal called the 8775 which was the first to ship with the ability to download its functionality from the host computer to which it was attached.

The DPPX/SP operating system was converted from its original implementation on the IBM 8100 Information System architecture to a new implementation-PX/370- the System/370 architecture of the ES/9370 Information System processors.
Portability was not an original design objective for DPPX, and yet the conversion of the operating system was straightforward and successful.

Since the 300 PL is designed to be integrated into a network, IBM's designers may have assumed that the majority of users wouldn't be cracking open the horizontal desktop case (which takes up a fair amount of real estate on a desk).
IBM continues to provide excellent documentation for its machines, as well as three free years of around-the-clock technical support and a three-year parts, one-year labor warranty.

 SNA - A General (and gentle) Introduction
Communication sessions may be defined as the facilities between two stations that enable them to exchange data.
IBM permits users to establish sessions and then use and reuse the same session for successive "conversations." Session creation establishes and commits resources (an imaginary pipe, if you will); conversations are traffic through it.
Closely linked with SSCP and responsible jointly with the remaining Pus for implementing SNA's hierarchical functions is the Network Control Program (NCP) software.

We are still awaiting the arrival of additional Pentium 4m notebooks to test, and are a little disappointed by the speed of response of some vendors.
In the meantime, we choose to compare the IBM P4m to the Dell Inspiron 8100 in the same configuration that we used in our article on the ATi Mobility Radeon 7500.
The A31p was able to achieve 64.3 FPS which is still very good, but the Inspiron 8100 was still able to hang in there with a score of 55.5.
