First it was the S/3, then came the S/32 - which was followed by the
S/34.
The S/38  followed with its completely different architecture : the "T
M",
but "Tomorrow's Machine" just never quite arrived.
The S/36  was the 16 bit upgrade to the s/34, then came the AS line
(wasn't it called Clearlake or somesuch?)
