Two is a number. :-) Not IBM-specific, but S/390 architecture specific: the smaller Fujitsu-Siemens SX series are really non-Intel Sun boxes running an emulator, with BS2000/OSD and VM2000 running on top. (The S-series are real boxes.) I think that F-S may also have some Intel boxes doing this as well.
Unisys is moving towards the same scenario with its 2 mainframe lines, both called ClearPath, but differentiated by origins (Sperry or Burroughs) and operating systems (OS2200, MCP).

Some number? I'm only aware of two emulators, namely Flex/ES and Hercules. What else is there? Adam
