The
Univac Series 90 was a family of mainframe class computer systems from
UNIVAC first introduced in 1973. The low end family members included the 90/25, 90/30 and 90/40 that ran the OS/3 operating system. The intermediate members of the family were the 90/60 and 90/70, while the 90/80 was the high end system. The 90/60 through 90/80 systems all ran the Univac’s virtual memory operating system,
VS/9. The Series 90 systems were the replacement for the
UNIVAC 9000 series of low end, mainframe systems marketed by
Sperry Univac during the 1960s. The 9000 series systems were byte-addressable machines with an instruction set that was compatible with the
IBM System/360. The family included the 9200, 9300, 9400, and 9480 systems; the 9400 and 9480 ran a real memory operating system called OS/4. As Sperry moved into the 1970s, they expanded the 9000 family with the introduction of the 9700 system in 1971. They were also developing a new real memory operating system for the 9700 called OS/7.
