the XT/370 and AT/370 run VM/PC.  no RSCS or other networking features
but it has all of CMS and most of the CP functions.  pricey, but
it allows attachment to, and running of software, of a VM/370
mainframe.  i've used one a little bit and it's fast provided you
don't do a lot of paging.  normal configuration is 4M memory, the
hard disk, and networking hardware.  to the mainframe, the XT/370
and AT/370 appear as a 3278 terminal.
