IBM System/36

        Although I have never seen one up-close, a company that I formerly worked for
had a System 36. I think that it is one of IBM's older mainframes/minis that
was the predecessor to the AS/400 (our S36 software ran unmodified on the
AS/400).

        It's based on a TwinAx-based network and has terminals connected to it with
snappy names such as the "3270" and the "5250". Line printers are also Twin-Ax
based.

        I hope that this is the same one that I was thinking about (otherwise, ignore
the above <g>).
