Back in 1994, they were small enough like a big PC tower, I used to seat on one occasionally, that was out of order.

One of my Summer intern jobs was to run backups every few days on a AS/400 system.

That "seat" was the old one that was yet to be collected.

Back then their model lineup ranged from the small size like you mention to approx 3 or 4 refrigerator size at the high end.

When I did some system work out at Costco in the 90's they had 4 of the largest models connected together in one system image (sysplex I think).

Indeed, never saw other sizes in real, only on magazine ads.
