IBM AS400?

[Michael B. Brutman]

It's a midrange machine.  Very good at COBOL and RPG.  As a relational 
database that is tightly coupled with the OS.

I'm not sure on the model numbers, but if it is in a white/beige box 
it's an old timer.  The latest version of the OS is V3R2, dating back to 
about 1996.  Black boxes mean it is a newer RISC processor model, 
although there were some previous generation boxes dressed up in black 
to make them sexy. :-)

Peripherals and I/O on these things are weird.  It's like working in a 
parallel universe.  Read on the web for the gory details.

If the box is newer, there is a good chance that some of my code is 
running on it in the bowels of the OS.
