To be honest, I would rather have a S/370 over an S/360, if I had a
choice.

Yes, basically. I remember walking around one beast (I think a 3081) back
about 12 years ago, and seeing the power controller. It was a big six
foot box, and sure enough, there was an 8 inch floppy slot.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind having a 3081 or 3090 either. Or 9201
or 9121.
