- 08:4708:47, 12 May 2024 diff hist −269 IBM System/370 Model 155 Remove from the "Limitations" section material that also appears in the lead. The remaining section is about OS support; move it after all the hardware stuff, and rename it "Operating systems'. Provide a reference for the DOS and OS support; it doesn't have the exact quotes, so just say it supported both DOS/360 and OS/360

Remove a non-reference footnote whose relevance is not clear (other than that, as noted in the "Virtual memory" section, those two models, unlike all subsequent models, needed an expensive hardware upgrade to support VM). The "not real 370s" applied to the 155 and 165, not the 145, which already had the hardware necessary for VM, and only needed a microcode update.

- 07:5407:54, 12 May 2024 diff hist −1,181 IBM System/370 Model 165 Remove some stuff about the Model 85 whose relevance here is unclear; the IBM System/360 Model 85 includes a better reference from "IBM's 360 and Early 370 Systems" for the M85 being an S/370 predecessor. Remove the "extended, not redesigned" bit, which is now in IBM System/370 where it belongs. Just say "the 155 and 165 didn't support VM"; no need to bring in the OSes. Turn what remains into a section about virtual memory^Wstorage.
