According to IBM's Archives history at: 
http://www-1.ibm.com/ibm/history/history/decade_1900.html and select the 
specific decade then walk thru the years (searches for me did not work)

S/360 - 1964
S/360 mod 25 - 1967
S/3  - 1969
S/7  - 1970
Series/1- 1976
S/38 - 1978
PC   -  1981
S/36    -  1983
PC-XT -  1983
AS/400 - 1988
eSeries - 1997

I know that the S/38 was announced then not shipped til later, as there was a 
delay while the CPF was re-written to make it faster, but I still worked on one 
in 1981 so I know it was out by then.  I could not locate the S/32 anywhere.

The S/38 came much later than the S/36... The S/36 first shipped
in 07/83 as I recall... The S/38 didn't exist till much later.

The S/36 still remains one of the most popular and widely
installed systems ever built. The 400 didn't catch up with
the S/36 in sales numbers for several years.
