mainframes weren't 32 bit though. They were *much more* than 32

machine :D
360 and early 370 was 24-bit. They switched to 32-bit (or 31-bit) later.
Ahh, but by what definition? You're obviously talking about the
addressing capability. I was talking about data paths, and by that
definition they're all 32-bit.
