==History==
On April 7, 1964, wasIBM the announcement ofannounced the then-new [[IBM System/360]], to be available in six models. The top three (60, 62, 70) were never shipped. The '''360/40''' was the middle of the three ([[IBM System/360 Model 30|30]], 40, [[IBM System/360 Model 50|50]]), which were delivered (mid to late 1965).<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Bc8BGhSOawgC&pg=PA275&lpg=PA275|title=Building IBM: Shaping an Industry and Its Technology|author=Emerson W.

==IBM 1400 series emulation==
With the additional Compatibility Feature hardware and Compatibility Support software under DOS/360, the [[IBM 1401]]/[[IBM 1440|1440]]/1460 object programs couldcan be run in the emulation mode, with little or no reprogramming.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/dos/C27-6940-2_14xx_Emulator_Feb69.pdf|title=IBM System/360 Disk Operating System 1401/1440/1460 Emulator Programs: Compatibility Support/30 & /40|id=C27-6940-2|edition=Third|date=February 1969|publisher=IBM}}</ref>

the IBM [[operating system]] used was usually the realistically sized [[DOS/360]],{{Citation needed|date=September 2017}} because all but one model of the 360/40 had less than MVT's minimum memory requirements of 256KB.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/os/R21.7_Apr73/GC28-6551-16_Storage_Estimates_R21.7_Apr73.pdf|title=IBM System/360 Operating System: Storage Estimates OS Release 21.7|date=April 1973|publisher=IBM|id=GC28-6551-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Ray Saunders |url=http://www.os390-mvs.freesurf.fr/mvs360.htm |title=MVS...

A modified Model 40 ran [[CP-40]], the ancestor of [[CP/CMS]], which in turn was the progenitor of the [[z/VM|VM]] line.
