Micro, mini, or mainframe? I know I have some docs I set aside in acrobat 
format, from
one of the IBM research journals, where they discussed the addition of 
virtual storage to
the IBM 360, I think the 360-67 might've been the first? At least from IBM - 
I think there
was another system, the "blaauw box" added to another 360 just before it, if 
my memory is
correct.

Found the IBM link:
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/rd/255/ibmrd2505D.pdf

covers how the model 67 introduced "virtual storage."
