IBM System/370 Model 155

3 months after the announcement of the 370/155 (and 165) came the Model 145. Unlike the 155 (or 165), the 145's lack of virtual memory could be rectified with a simple microcode update from a floppy disk, vs the others needing a hardware upgrade.

The IBM 3330 Direct Access Storage Facility, code-named Merlin, was introduced in June 1970 for use with the IBM System/370. Its removable disk packs could hold 100 MB

Read-only memory

Type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices.

Many game consoles use interchangeable ROM cartridges, allowing for one system to play multiple games. Shown here is the inside of a Pokémon Silver Game Boy cartridge. The ROM is the IC on the right labeled "MX23C1603-12A".

Transformer matrix ROM (TROS), from the IBM System 360/20

IBM used capacitor read-only storage (CROS) and transformer read-only storage (TROS) to store microcode for the smaller System/360 models, the 360/85, and the initial two System/370 models (370/155 and 370/165).
