Editing IBM System 9000 (section)

==Reception==
Noting the obscurity of its 1982 release, ''[[BYTE]]'' in January 1983 called the System 9000 "IBM's 'Secret' Computer" and stated that it was "in its quiet way, one of the most exciting new arrivals on today's microcomputer scene". The magazine speculated that with some changes it would be "a natural candidate for a business or general-purpose computer".<ref name="morgan198301">{{cite news | url=https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1983-01/1983_01_BYTE_08-01_Looking_Ahead#page/n109/mode/2up | title=IBM's "Secret" Computer | work=BYTE | date=January 1983 | accessdate=19 October 2013 | author=Morgan, Chris | pages=108}}</ref> A later review by a member of [[Brandeis University]]'s chemistry department criticized several aspects of the hardware and software, but praised the sophisticated BASIC and IBM's customer service. The reviewer concluded that "the CS-9000 is a very fast and powerful laboratory computer [that is] very affordable".<ref name="clune198402">{{cite news | url=https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1984-02/1984_02_BYTE_09-02_Benchmarks#page/n279/mode/2up | title=The IBM CS-9000 Lab Computer | work=BYTE | date=February 1984 | accessdate=9 March 2016 | author=Clune, Thomas R. | pages=278}}</ref>
