==History==
The Model 30 was a popular [[IBM mainframe]] which was announced in 1964 as the least powerful of the [[IBM System/360|System/360]]s.<ref group=NB>The less powerful [[IBM System/360 Model 20|Model 20]], offered only partial compatibility with the rest of the System/360 line.</ref> The System/360 series was the first line of computers in the world to allow machine language programs to be written that could be used across a broad range of compatible machines of different sizes. It was the smallest model that had the full [[System/360]] instruction set (unlike the [[IBM System/360 Model 20|Model 20]]) and served as a stand-alone system, communications system or as a satellite processor of a larger system.<ref name="ibm-archives">{{cite web|title=IBM Archives: System/360 Model 30|url=https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_PP2030.html|website=IBM|date=23 January 2003
