Wow, nice career, my compliments. :)

But IMHO, as I wrote to Ward, Before IBM 360 it's hard to find a "real" mainframe, moreover the IBM AS/400 and it's predecessors System 36, AS/38 etc. are all dipartimentals.
You're right on 370 ad Amdahl, I forgot them. :D

Cray and similar are "Supercomputers", mostbof them with superscalar microprocessors, far away from a mainframe.

Ciao.
Fabio. :)
