It had the PS/2 design language as well. A retail customer of mine - in 
London Central Branch - had one.

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.
