This is  very strange.  We've been told by IBM that inorder run anything  
higher than OS/390 2.10, we had to go to a z box.  We're currently  running 
OS/390 2.6 on a 9672 R83.

It's mostly semanticle. z/OS requires ALS-2 which is G5(9672-Rx6) or  higher. 
IIRC z/OS thru 1.6 runs in 31 bit on G5's. When you go to z/OS you  
originally had 31/64bit choices or bimode migration aid(pay for). z/OS 1.7  
requires 
z/Box and only runs in 64 bit. It's a very large jump from 2.6 to z/OS  
anything.
