The deskside "S/390" is the IS/390, which is a PC running OS/2 
containing a PCI card with an S/390 processor on it, and a bunch of 
i960-based ARTIC960 CHANNEL-emulation cards.  It doesn't really compare 
with a full-size S/390.

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.
