The deskside "S/390" is the IS/390, which is a PC running OS/2

with a full-size S/390.
You're
concerned about the size of a PDP-11 but not of an S/390? Pretty
much any S/390 will be bigger than pretty much any PDP-11.
Is there not a small S/390, sort of a deskside unit? I thik I have seen
one. I think you could make a deskside 9370, if you cut
enough stuff out.
You really have to cut out a lot of it. There was also that one 43x1
which looked like a desk. I forget which one exactly. It even came
with a table-top on it.
