Reverted good faith edits by JoeNMLC (talk): Most of those computers are irrelevant; only the S/370 line starting with 3081 uses IOCP, e.g., 308x, 3090, ES/8000, 9672 |

The direct use of IOCP and [[MVS Configuration Program|MVSCP]] has been mostly supplanted by [[Hardware Configuration Definition| Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD)]].<ref name=GA22-7525/>
