The 360/20 was specifically designed to run in ordinary offices.
The core memory has temperature compensation.

The 360/30 is a little bigger, and might not have that.

Some will question exactly how big one has to be to be a real mainframe.

And VAX were some that had that asked of them.  Even in the beginning.
