Although the IBM System/38 and its successor the AS/400 and iSeries filled the same market niche, they used a radically different architecture, based on the failed IBM Future Systems project.
The System/38 was a descendant of the abandoned IBM Future Systems project, which had been designed as the replacement for the System/360 and System/370 mainframe architectures.
