Was this the famous AS/Entry?  Which has to be one of the most cleverest
names in marketing ever devised.

We had one of these.  In fact the last one we bought was after we had
already started migrating to the 400.  It was for a division in which the
director of IS was a shareholder.  And they needed to upgrade their 5360.

First of all, what the _HECK_ is a 236?  S/36 generally runs 5360, 5362,
etc.
 Things may have changed, but failure to ask that question by IBM was one
that derailed one of my former clients' upgrade several times.  They were
running a custom version of BASIC that wasn't supported even when the
AS/400
did so...
