Its purpose was to connect communication lines to the mainframe channel. It was a first communications controller of the popular IBM 37xx series. It was announced in March 1972. Designed for semiconductor memory which was not ready at the time of announcement, the 3705-I had to use 1.2 microsecond core storage; the later 3705-II used 1.0 microsecond SRAM. Monolithic System Technology components, similar to those in S/370, were used. |
