>This is very strange.  We've been told by IBM that inorder run anything 
higher than OS/390 2.10, we had to go to a z box.  We're currently running 
OS/390 2.6 on a 9672 R83.

Context always matters.

IBM does not sell/market anything older than a z/900.
The microcode store is too small on an R83 to support the (even 31-bit) 
instructions required for z/OS.
So, if you go through IBM, you have no choice but a z/BOX.

Maybe, 3RD party can find you an upgrade to a G5, which will support z/OS in 
31-bit.
