   "I wish to demonstrate the minor changes   
   that would have been required to the S/360 so that   
   we would never have arrived at a 31-bit black hole,   
   and we could have in fact had the perfect 32-bit   
   machine."   
      
   They were not "minor" changes. For example, the S/360 used core memory. How   
   much more memory (and hardware changes) would have been required to implement   
   32-bit memory as opposed to the 24-bit memory?
