User:Maury Markowitz/Infobox mainframe computer/doc

Usage
This infobox is intended to document mainframe computer systems like the IBM System/360 Model 30. It should be used to replace the more general "information appliance" infobox where appropriate. Related infoboxes include minicomputer, microcomputer and game console.

Important notes
Under WP:NOPRICES, "product prices should not be quoted in an article unless they can be sourced and there is a justified reason for their mention". Use of the "price" field should therefore be the exception rather than the norm.

In addition to the tracking category below, using this template without including at least one of parameters besides "title", "image", and "caption" will add the page to Category:Articles using infobox templates with no data rows.
