Both Amdahl and Hitachi decided that the market for mainframes wasn't large enough for them to continue making mainframes after IBM announced the 64 bit mode. They decided it would be too expensive to reengineer their machines, so neither ever made a 64 bit machine.

Hmmm... I don't believe that IBM will license any currently supported level of
z/OS on any Amdahl machine, will it?  (Is there an Amdahl machine that
supports 64-bit mode and archlevel 2 ?)
