The IBM 7094-II was a 32K word (36 bits/word) processor follow on to the
family 709-7090-7094. At its best (my memory may be failing here) it was
capable of something like .2MFLOP. This is an oldy-goldy scientific 
processor built before the "universal" 360/370/390 architecture. It was
programmed entirely from banks of tapes attached on primitive channels; very
few 7094's ever had the RAMAC disk drives. All input (cards) and output  
(printing) was done offline using IBM 1401's.
