| | IBM Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography |
 | | IBM invented many of the core technologies used in all forms of computing, including the first hard disk drive and the Winchester hard disk drive, the cursor (on computer screens), Dynamic RAM (DRAM), the relational database, Thin Film recording heads, RISC architecture, the Scanning Tunneling Microscope, and the floppy disk. | | | The IBM iSeries minicomputer (in its 24-year history also variously known as i5, AS/400 and System/38) is the world's largest-selling computer family, if PC-type machines are excluded. | | | It was originally known as the IBM System/360 and, in far more modern 64-bit form, is now known as the IBM zSeries (often referred to as "IBM mainframes"). |

| | EBCDIC - definition of EBCDIC in Encyclopedia |
| | EBCDIC was devised in the 1963-1964 timeframe by IBM and was announced with the release of the IBM System/360 line of mainframe computers at the apex of IBM’s mainframe monopoly. | | | EBCDIC (Fully, "Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code") is an 8-bit character encoding used on IBM mainframes and AS/400s. | | | It is descended from punched cards and the corresponding six bit binary-coded decimal code that most of IBM's computer peripherals of the late 1950s and early 1960s used. |

| | IBM 3270 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The IBM 3270 is a class of terminals made by IBM (known as "Display Devices") normally used to communicate with IBM mainframes. | | | The software program TN3270 is a modified version of Telnet which acts as a 3270 terminal emulator and can be used to connect to an IBM mainframe over a network. | | | This article was originally based on material from the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, which is licensed under the GFDL. |

| | An IBM mainframe is an International Business Machines (IBM)-made mainframe computer, i.e., a traditionally "large" high-performance computer (in terms of price tag, physical size, transaction processing and I/O performance), although usually not as expensive and highly performing as a supercomputer. | | | In the early years (1950–1965) IBM made many models of mainframes, most of which were incompatible with each other. | | | The primary operating systems in use on today's IBM mainframes include MVS (later called OS/390 or z/OS), VM/CMS (later called z/VM), VSE, TPF, and, most recently, GNU/Linux. |

| | Resume of Michael Gilleland |
| | Developed C software for the PIXNET-XL product, which extended the I/O channel of IBM mainframes to remote locations for printing, check processing, tape operations, etc. Without PIXNET-XL, high-speed printers and other peripheral devices had to be located nearby the mainframe computer which controlled them. | | | Developed software allowing screens for telephone operators to appear in different languages. |
