S/1 was also used in the airline industry, but in a white rack-high box. They have been equipped with 8 inch floppies to load the microcode and OS.
The funny thing on that kind of machines have been the line of LED blinking like K.I.T.T in knight rider, indicating the CPU load (slow=high CPU load, fast=low CPU load)
I know a airline where a couple of this machines have been used for X25 communications until mid 2001 (Yes, they have been made Y2K!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.72.82.138 ( talk • contribs) 21:12, 18 September 2005
Image:Ibmser1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Event Driven Language was merged here after three posts on a merge and/or delete discussion. View AfD One editor of which complained that he his nearest computer library was 250 miles away. It is as if Wikipedia existed for his convenience. Now we have the most ridiculous situation of a wikilink pointing to itself. The fact of the matter is, is that the IBM Series/1 required operating software. This software was in many cases "Event Driven Language". The fact that Event Driven Language was lost to active development due to the march of progress and history, does not make it un-notable, despite the fact that some editors may be inconvenienced by the fact that it is not recent enough to warrant a Google hit. I suggest that the EDL page be restored and improved. Barring that, a improving its treatment here is warranted. It never ceases to amaze me how many editors deny history because they cannot find it on Google. WP:verifiablity does not require Google assets. In fact it specifically mentions University Libraries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcwiki9 ( talk • contribs) 04:52, 20 December 2010
I noticed this image in another section of the wiki. While it is not identified as such, the tall unit (and the screen/printer) is a business version of a Series/1 system

A quick Google search suggests it was CPIX (developed by the University of Ohio, Cleveland and Rutgers University; and marketed by IBM's Telecommunications Group) and Microsoft XENIX. 99Electrons ( talk) 04:41, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
If Series /1 could run Xenix, surely it must have had other storage than the 8 inch floppie that can be identified. Xenix on floppies were about 30 something disks... So I guess there must have been a what they called at that time "winchester drive"... 134.247.251.245 ( talk) 15:56, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
In the current version of the article I read this: "8-inch green monitor with 25 × 80 character resolution"; it seems quite strange, because in the usual way of indicating text mode displays resolution the figure related to the number of columns (i.e. 80) comes before the number of rows (25). So it should have been written 80 x 25.-- Corrado72 ( talk) 20:52, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
