IBM ported Go to s390x mainframes

The AS/400 isn't a mainframe. It sits in the same space as VAX/VMS and the HP3000 line.
Edit: The common term for these, during their heyday, was "minicomputer" or "midrange".

Sure, but I still see it as a mainframe, even though you could seat on them (I actually used to do that on a dead one).
