That was my point. The machine level, the level at which they operate, is binary.
The human interface (ie. Maintenance Panel) may be HEX, Octal, or Decimal.

The Human Interface can also be voice. But I don't know of a computer that is not binary.

Never worked on a 1401, the 360 was hex.
The 360 was where I worked after my Army time. The earlier machines did I/O inline. When you started an I/O operation the machine could do nothing else until the I/O completed. No overlapped operation, no O/S, single task. Those were the days.
