curprev 03:5303:53, 16 June 2022 Guy Harris talk contribs 7,402 bytes +224 The IBM System/360 mainly used 8-bit EBCDIC, not 7-bit ASCII. It also had 32-bit words made of 4 8-bit bytes, not 8-bit words. The 32-bit machines are what really mattered here, as they were the ones close in size to the 36-bit machines; mention also the 32-bit superminis (the VAX being the one that eventually killed the 36-bit PDP-10). undo

curprev 17:0117:01, 7 October 2019 Guy Harris talk contribs 7,177 bytes +14 →History: The characters actually aren't 5-bit or 6-bit; the key is that they're packed (as radix 50 digits, hence the name) into 32 bits (50 isn't a power of 2, so the packing isn't simple bit packing). undo
