Vendor evaluation
Roy F. Reeves · ACM SIGUCCS Newsletter · 1973
In August 1970 we sent a letter to a number of vendors that manufacture large scale computer systems which might be suitable for use in the academic computer center at Ohio State University. In this letter we informed them that we intended to replace three separate computers by a single computer system in approximately two years. The three computer systems were an IBM 360/75 and an IBM 7094, both of which were used for batch processing, as well as a 360/50 which was used for time sharing.
