Maybe they really mean AS/400. I have never seen any 360/370 I/O that
was SCSI.
OTOH it might just be for the 370 emulator PCs (9371) that used a pair
of mod 80s. One drove the PC I/O and the other the 370 emulator
hardware. Sears dumped about 1000 of them in the 96-97 time frame.
They were running 370 DOS/VSE. (not PC DOS)

Dave McGuire has a 9371 at the Large Scale Systems Museum in Pittsburgh
if anyone is ever out that way it's well worth a visit

We used SCSI in the RAMAC back in the 90s but the mainframe connection
was either bus/tag or more likely ESCON (fiber)
RAMAC (1990 style) was just a 19" rack full of 3.5" SCSI drives in
RAID5 arrays. (11 at a pop)

History note
The original 305 RAMAC was a drum back in the Eisenhower
administration. We still had one in the Pentagon in the late 60s. The
government never throws anything away. ;-)
I am betting they had some kind of dark program running on it and they
never rewrote the software for anything newer. It was a high security
room I only got in once (tarps on the printers and an armed Marine
with his finger in my belt loop making sure I wasn't looking around).
Ah the good old days.
