- The operating system is called 'ITX', the CPU is an NCR proprietary
- architecture, and the primary language is COBOL. The 9300 was the machine
- that followed the 90X0, then the 9400, then the 10000. Then NCR moved away
- from ITX and their proprietary architecture in favor of Unix SVR4 and Intel
- chips in the 3000 family. (But don't feel too bad, NCR also left behind the
- Motorola 68XXX chip family and their SVR2/SVR3-based Tower line.)
-
- Unless it has been upgraded, the 9300 will NOT accept SCSI peripherals.
