clock

I have a commercially produced clock that displays BCD time in the manner shown in the diagram, with six vertical BCD digits. It also has the ability, given the same LED arrangement, to give binary hours, minutes, and seconds horizontally. Interesting how, given that arrangement, 5 bits are available for hours (24 hour mode), and six each for minutes and seconds. I got mine used, so I don't know where they come from.

implemented in all IBM mainframe hardware since then

The article says: implemented in all IBM mainframe hardware since then. For low-end S/360 models, decimal was optional. (As was floating point. Presumably one would get one or the other.) Also, the 360/91 doesn't have the decimal instructions, with the OS doing software emulation. (It has CVB and CVD, which are used in the emulation.) Gah4 (talk) 11:39, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
