The initial setting of this table may be altered, however, as described in the 7070/7074 Data Processing System Bulletin `` IBM 7070/7074 Compiler System: Operating Procedure '', form Aj.

This agreement soon however fell apart, and the Microsoft / IBM relationship was terminated.

It appears that sIBM and polymyositis share some common features, especially the initial sequence of immune system activation, however, polmyositis comes on over weeks or months, does not display the subsequent muscle degeneration and protein abnormalities as seen in IBM, and as well, polymyositis tends to respond well to treatments, IBM does not.

MIME's use, however, has grown beyond describing the content of email to describe content type in general, including for the web ( see Internet media type ) and as a storage for rich content in some commercial products ( e. g., IBM Lotus Domino and IBM Lotus Quickr ).

OS / 2 could however use a hardware watchdog on selected machines ( notably IBM machines ) to break out of such a deadlock.

The term did not become widely known and used, however, until the early 1980s, essentially synonymous with the introduction of the IBM PC and numerous related hardware and software products to the consumer market.

In the 1970s, however, places like IBM did research and found that many instructions in the set could be eliminated.

As the market evolved, however, despite the failure of MCA, IBM derived a considerable income from license fees from companies who paid for licenses to use IBM patents that were in the PC design — to the extent that IBM's emphasis changed from discouraging PC clones to maximizing its revenue from license sales.

By the late 1970s, however, most VM users were connecting via full-screen terminals – particularly the IBM 3270, the ubiquitous transaction processing terminal on IBM mainframes.

The name faced disagreements from the IBM corporate naming committee because the nomenclature system for the IBM computers was then numerical ; however, the brand name " ThinkPad " was kept as the press showed appreciation for the title.

Until early 1980, the format had no " official " name ; however, the LaserVision Association, made up of MCA, Universal-Pioneer, IBM, and Philips / Magnavox, was formed to standardize the technical specifications of the format ( which had been causing problems for the consumer market ) and finally named the system officially as " LaserVision ".

The disk subsystems on the IBM System / 360 expanded this concept in the form of Count Key Data ( CKD ) and later Extended Count Key Data ( ECKD ); however the use of variable block size in HDDs fell out of use in the 1990s ; one of the last HDDs to support variable block size was the IBM 3390 Model 9, announced May 1993

IBM was not interested in selling, however, as the division was one of the most profitable sections of their Canadian operations.

A preliminary IBM PC port was made but never finished ; however, it can be found on the web, although it has some problems ( for instance, the random number generator is not initialized properly ).

SDLC was mainly used by IBM mainframe and midrange systems ; however, implementations exist on many platforms from many vendors.

In 1974-1976 IBM had contacted the Soviet authorities and expressed interest in ES EVM development ; however, after the Soviet Army entered Afghanistan, in 1979, all contacts between IBM and ES developers were interrupted, due to the US embargo on technological cooperation with the USSR.

These petitions were held in 2005 and 2007, but IBM refused these petitions, citing legal and technical reasons.

Kasparov accused IBM of cheating and demanded a rematch, but IBM refused and dismantled Deep Blue.

DR, which had the dominant OS system of the day, was uneasy about the agreement with IBM and refused, Microsoft seized this opportunity to supply the OS in addition to other software ( e. g. BASIC ) for the new IBM PC.

This action precipitated a lawsuit from IBM, citing patent infringement and PSI's failure to negotiate a z / Architecture license, and IBM refused to license its operating systems and software on PSI's machines.

*: an instance when IBM refused to terminate the account.

Although users frequently asked IBM to release PL / S for their use, IBM refused saying that the product was proprietary.

B. Gunn who, at IBM in 1962, discovered the effect because he refused to accept inconsistent experimental results in gallium arsenide as " noise ", and tracked down the cause.

When Data General refused to license CEO, IBM created PROFS.

However, because its integrated hardware was incompatible with the hardware used in the original IBM PC, the 80286 was used as the successor instead in the IBM PC / AT.

IBM was the first manufacturer to exploit microcode technology to implement a compatible range of computers of widely differing performance, although the largest, fastest, models had hard-wired logic instead.

However, C language programming is much easier to obtain skilled people in, so most if not all new development is done in C. Since z / TPF allows assembler programs to be repackaged into 1 logical file, critical legacy applications can be maintained and actually improve efficiency-the cost of entering one of these programs will now come at the initial enter when the entire program is fetched into core and logical flow through the program is accomplished via simple branch instructions, instead of a dozen or so IBM instructions previously needed to perform what is known as ' core resident enter / back '.

The floppy drives used the old-fashioned method of selecting the drive number with jumpers instead of the IBM cable twist.

IBM has instead continued to expand the variety of database products they offer, through the acquisition of SolidDB, an in-memory database, and Netezza a data warehouse appliance.

With CP-67 on the IBM System / 360 Model 67 and Virtual Machine Facility / 370 ( VM / 370 ) on System / 370, IBM introduced the notion of virtual machine, where the operating system itself runs under the control of a hypervisor, instead of being in direct control of the hardware.

In his finding of facts for United States v. Microsoft, Judge Jackson determined that because of IBM's marketing of Lotus SmartSuite, and other alternatives to Microsoft products ( like World Book electronic encyclopedia instead of Microsoft's Encarta ), Microsoft " punished the IBM PC Company with higher prices, a late license for Windows 95, and the withholding of technical and marketing support.

It was an accident of history that the IBM PC happened to have an Intel CPU ( instead of the technically superior Motorola 68000 that had been tipped for it, or an IBM in-house design ), and that it shipped with IBM PC-DOS ( a licensed version of Microsoft's MS-DOS ) rather than the CP / M-86 operating system, but these accidents were to have enormous significance in later years.

This family of " warehouse appliance-like " systems was given the name IBM Balanced Configuration Unit, or BCU, and is aimed at the warehouse appliance market typified by Netezza and DATAllegro, but it differentiates itself in that it uses the full-featured version of DB2 instead of a single-purpose warehouse-oriented RDBMS.

The DOS INT < tt > 21 </ tt > h function < tt > 30 </ tt > h get DOS version returns OEM code < tt > 00 </ tt > h for IBM instead of < tt > FF </ tt > h for Microsoft.

IBM returned to Livermore and stated that they were withdrawing from the contract, and instead proposed a dramatically better system, " We are not going to build that machine for you ; we want to build something better!

IBM instead sold its 6x86 chips on the open market, competing directly against Cyrix and sometimes undercutting Cyrix's prices.

However, writers of software which required fast performance made direct calls to the IBM PC hardware instead of going through the operating system, resulting in PC-specific software which performed better than other MS-DOS and CP / M-86 versions ; for example, games would display fast by writing to video memory directly instead of suffering the delay of making a call to the operating system, which would then write to a hardware-dependent memory location.

The IBM 709 had a 38 bit accumulator, a 36 bit multiplier quotient register, and three 15 bit index registers whose contents were subtracted from the base address instead of being added to it.

Previously IBM servers based on AMD Opteron CPUs did not share the xSeries brand ; instead they fell directly under the eServer umbrella.

This was the first hard piece of evidence that the differences among countries was not specific to IBM, but instead, was due to a generalized set of shared socialization skills that were specific to people having grown up in the same country, and not necessarily, the same organization.

CTSS used a modified IBM 7094 mainframe computer that had two 32, 768 36-bit word banks of core memory instead of the normal one ; users had access to 27K of the total 32K, with the remaining 5K reserved for the monitor.
