Like most IBM stuff - clean, conservative, well done.

One of IBM's minicomputers from the 1980s. It replaced the System/34, but
has been replaced by the AS/400s.

I do not know - I have been throwing things and breaking stuff trying to
get RCS/RI's machine to boot.

Not at $200. Users are abandoning the minis (Systems/34, 36, and 38) in
large crowds. I placed an ad looking for old IBMs (hoping to snag a 370 -
right), and was offered quite a few free for hauling.
