Right, it was the early rack-mount 370 from IBM (1988 or so). We had one, and 
microcode updates came as BOXES of floppies, which meant some unlucky bastard 
got to spend a day feeding them into the HMC (a PS/2). Less content in all the 
boxes than one CD, never mind a DVD or flash drive.

 

And woe betide the poor soul who got a bad floppy on #45 of 50! Which happened. 
A lot.
