Dwight,
Well oddly all the "PC" variants so the XT/370, AT/370, P390 & P390/E meet
that definition, in that they are 370 or 390 class CPUs that use the host PC
to handle the IO...
So the host PC is in effect the IO processor...

I would think to be a mainframe, it has to have a I/O processor. That is
about
all I can think of.

How about the XT/370? or XT/360?
(I couldn't afford one)
As the predecessor to the P/390-E, I definitely think that the XT/370 or
XT/360 is a (baby) mainframe.
