No.  As illogical as it would seem, the sequence was S/34 (1976), S/38
(1978), S,36 (1982).

Shouldn't these be the other way around? Didn't the S/36 come before the

A storied past
IBM's plan to pull iSeries closer toward the mainstream began in 1995,
when the company switched it to a more widely used processor. But the
server line already had a long history.

It began as the System/38 line that was launched in 1978 and the
System/36 that arrived in 1983;
