[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] S/36 info sought

cpolishe@nyx.UUCP (Chuck Polisher) (09/25/90)

I'm looking for a comparison of the IBM S/36 to 386/486 based
systems.  Whetstones, Dhrystones, MIPS, even clock speed would
be helpful.  Thanks 1E6.

A performance comparison doesn't matter, or the user would likely not be
using an IBM System 36 anymore.
The question is whether you can get any machine to run RPG as it exists
on the System 36.
	I should put a big ;-) all around that one.
