Re: AS/400 History

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't remember the s/38 EVER having S/36 emulation.  From what I remember
the AS400 is the only midrange machine to have a s/36 emulation mode.

|I am having a debate over AS/400 history and I'm hoping someone
|on the List
|can settle it.  What was the order of computer platforms
|introduced by IBM -
|(System 36, System 38, AS/400)?
|
|I say the order was 36, 38, 400.  My friend says it was 38, 36,
|400.  Could
|someone help me settle this?
|
|Thanks!
