The IBM AS/400 (Application System/400) is a family of midrange computers from IBM announced in June 1988 and released in August 1988. It was the successor to the System/36 and System/38 platforms, and ran the OS/400 operating system.

It was originally released in 1988 as OS/400, as the sole operating system of the IBM AS/400 line of systems. It was renamed to i5/OS in 2004, before being renamed a second time to IBM i in 2008. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] It is an evolution of the System/38 CPF operating system, [ 5 ] with compatibility layers for System/36 SSP and AIX applications. [ 5 ]
The RPG programming language originally was created by IBM for their 1401 systems. IBM later produced implementations for the 7070/72/74 [4] [5] and System/360; [6] RPG II became the primary programming language for their midrange computer product line, (the System/3, System/32, System/34, System/38, System/36 and AS/400).
One difference between the A/36 and earlier S/36s is the 9402 Tape Drive. The 9402 uses Quarter-inch cartridges which can store up to 2.5 GB of data.The 9402 is able to read the 60MB tapes from the older S/36 6157 tape drive, but cannot write or do any SEND_DATA_BYTE operations with them, because they are newer than the older-style 1.0GB cartridges, which use the same pinout, and the same speed.

Historically, twinax was the cable specified for the IBM 5250 terminals and printers, used with IBM's System/34, System/36, System/38, and IBM AS/400 midrange hosts, and with IBM Power Systems machines running IBM i. The data transmission is half-duplex, balanced transmission, at 1 Mbit/s, on a single shielded, 110 Ω twisted pair. [4]
