Long before POP was a protocol, Programmer and Operator Productivity Aid
was a (development platform)? on System/34 and /36. Probably POP was a

AND No Token Ring.
AND No 10 or 100MB Ethernet cards (though those speeds are supported on
the 1Gb Cards.) AND No Reel to Reel tape drives AND No 3490, 3570, 3590,
drives either (No not even the Fiber ones) AND No QIC or 8MM tape.
AND No Floppy disks. :-)

Lucky for you POP is a protocol and THAT is still supported. :-)

How I'm supposed to connect my 5251? Next, I suppose you are going to
tell me that IBM will announce the demise of POP!!
