Unisys Dorado class mainframes can run either OS/2200 (Sperry Univac linage) or MCP (Burroughs A series linage). This is a configurable setting at the hardware partition level.

Very disturbing. They moved to .NET environment on windoze platforms. Is that movement not more expensive due to licensing?
