The May 1983 IBM Journal of Research and Development does indeed have
a paper on the IBM 801: "The 801 Minicomputer" by George Radin, pp.
237-246. This is just a slightly revised version of the paper in the
Proceedings of the Symposium on Programming Languages and Operating
Systems that has already been mentioned in previous news articles.
Nothing new here. (drat!)
This issue of the IBM Journal of R&D contains some other papers of
potential interest to net.arch readers. One is by Andris Padegs and
is a survey of the 370/XA architecture, which supports 31-bit addresses.
Another is a survey of the 370/XA channel system. These papers are as
good an introduction to 370/XA as anything I've seen--you don't have to
be a 370 system hacker to read them, although you do need a general
knowledge of the 370 architecture.
