Cambex has been the premier manufacturer of IBM compatible (computer) IBM compatible - A computer which can use hardware and software designed for the IBM PC (or, less often, IBM mainframes). This was once a key phrase in marketing a new PC clone but now in 1998 is rarely used, the non-IBM wintel personal computer manufacturers such mainframe memory for 27 years. The company has installed over 500 billion bytes of STOR mainframe memory at mission-critical user sites. Cambex has provided memory for seven successive generations of IBM mainframes - from the System 360 through the 9021 H2 and H5 series of water cooled mainframes and now for the 9672 CMOS mainframes. Cambex STOR/9600 CMOS memory is compatible with all IBM 9672 R2, R3, R4 and R5 models and IBM Multiprise 2000 servers. It is card for card interchangeable with IBM memory and is available in modular increments ranging from 512 MB to 8,192 MB based on CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. model. STOR/9600 memory complies with all standard 9672 and Multiprise diagnostics and report procedures.
