Re: When did CFINT begin

To be precise (although possibly a bit redundant - based on my prior note),
the first "server models" were ivory models 100, 135 and 140 on V2R3.  When
the black "advanced series" was introduced, we introduced models 20S and
30S.  I cannot recall if it went higher than 30S.  Models 40S, 50S, 51S and
53S were the RISC follow on products.

It came about slowly actually... When the first "server" boxes came
out back in the dark days.... It didn't really hit home until the
7XX boxes came out and IBM decided that interactive was a "bad"
thing that required more money to make it a "good" thing.... I
suspect as others do, that CFINT has been around in other forms for
a very long time...... The 9402-20S is the first "server" model that
I recall seeing and I suspect, it had CFINT somewhere in there. This
"might" have been done with hardware rather than software at that
point.(1994-1995)...
