Year 2000:IBM S/370

The Feb 5 issue of InformationWeek includes several articles
about the Year 2000 date problem. There was a statement
that I find hard to believe, and since this group has a large
following in the IBM Big Iron world, perhaps I can find an
answer.

The author stated "Last fall the company (IBM) revealed that
some of its decades-old hardware, such as the S/370
mainframes, cannot be modified at all to speak 2000-ese."

Is this possible? It's been a while since I worked on a S/370
machine, but neither I nor several collegues can understand
this statement.

Perhaps one of you have an answer.

The earth is populated by scientists who practice the art of
infallibility, and non-scientists who are taken in by them.
