In another disappointment for IBM with the 9370, the Covia Corp division of United Airlines has rolled out the fruits of its major development project to create a full-function administrative computer system for travel agents – and announced that although much of the system was originally conceived to run on the 9370, most of it has now been implemented successfully on the Personal System/2 Models 60 and 80. When the contract was announced in February 1986, it was thought that a 4361 predecessor to the 9370 would be required (CI No 368), but United now says that a network of PS/2 60s or 80s is quite adequate.
