OS/VS2

Operating System/Virtual Storage 2 (OS/VS2) is an operating system, upward compatible from MFT, MVT and OS/VS1. Each job or timesharing user is provided with individual 16 MB virtual address space that include the space required for system code and tables. OS/VS2 supports the System/370 Models 145, 148, 155II, 158, 165II, 168 and the 3031, 3032, and 3033 Processors.
