Remove from the "Limitations" section material that also appears in the lead. The remaining section is about OS support; move it after all the hardware stuff, and rename it "Operating systems'. Provide a reference for the DOS and OS support; it doesn't have the exact quotes, so just say it supported both DOS/360 and OS/360

Three months later a fourth IBM System/370, the [[IBM System/370 Model 145|Model 145]], was announced.
 
==Limitations==
Some said about these early members of the [[IBM System/370]] family, looking back, that they were not "the real 370 line" because
"neither offered virtual storage capability, which was to be a hallmark of the 370 line."<ref name="what-course-for-the-3081" />
 
The 370/155 was described as able to "run under [[DOS/360 and successors|DOS]]." Both the 155 and the larger 370/165 could "run under [[OS/360 and successors|OS/360]]." Being members of the System/370 family, the Model 155 and Model 165 were compatible with each other. Neither machine, as announced, could run a virtual memory operating system.

==Channels==
Channel 0 was a byte multiplexor channel, channel 1 to 5 were block multiplexor channels. Channel 0 and 1 were standard, channel 2 to 5 were optional upgrades.
