OK, after little research, I found out the Amdahl has been purchased by Fujitsu and they still make IBM plug compatible mainframes. IBM is still required by the government to provide Fujitsu/Amdahl with microcode and access to OS/390 source code to allow them to clone IBM mainframes.

Here is a blurb from the Fujitsu/Amdahl website:

Fortune 500 customers can continue to utilize the System/390 compatible server line of products for their mission-critical applications for years to come. The Millennium and OmniFlex servers are high performing, proven technology, and very reliable. Our servers will continue to provide our customers the best value and lowest total cost of ownership for System/390 computing.
