  • Nice. The top "small" one is the System/3, which used non-standard 96-column punchcards with round holes - it never caught on. The bottom one, which I actually worked with, is a System/370 (the 145 or 155 model, I think). The large cabinet in front is a IBM2311 disk drive, which had a capacity of 7.25 MB (mega yep) per removable cartridge.
