Abstract
Since the announcement of the ZBM System13 in 1%9, ZBM has been incorporating leading-edge technology in products referred to as small general-purpose systems. With the many models of the Systeml3, Systeml32, Systeml34, and System1 38, ZBM has introduced many technological advances addressing the needs of diverse customers, from the novice, firsttime user to the experienced user in the distributed data processing account. By identifying the goals, objectives, design themes, major salient features, and development constraints, this paper reviews and highlights the technical evolution of these products in terms of their systems layout, processor architecture, machine structure, andprogramming support.
