Sorry, I sometimes have a hard time with names!
Since the "h" is not a required letter in my christian name in
Portuguese-speaking (and possibly Spanish-speaking) countries AFAICT, I
guess my name is sometimes misspelled - but I haven't noticed. On the other
hand, in my case, the two versions are homophones.
You read more into it than I meant - ubiquitous means omnipresent.
Then I believe I did not misunderstand since I was well aware that
"ubiquitous" means "omnipresent". However, "omnipresent" equally implies
there's an option. Some supposed representatives of the people achieve 100%
of the votes in elections. (Others are more honest and are "loved by
everybody"!)
Incidentally what difference is there between "true" and not "true -
"false"? - "local non-SNA support"?
A physical 3x78, 3x79, 3180, 3290 would provide "true" support, in
contrast with a 3278 board for your PC or similar kludge.
I guess this is (again?) a matter of "point of view".
I look at "3270 local non-SNA support" in terms of VTAM performing the
"protocol conversion" to SNA. Keyboard layout is irrelevant.
You are looking at a rather different aspect and possibly a marketing
opportunity for an external keyboard - USB? - which would faithfully copy
one of the 3270 layouts, perhaps the old 3277 with the pad of 12 PF keys
which I notices got a mention in a recent IBM-MAIN thread.
... if IBM still supports the 3791L (really a 3174-1L), then true local
non-SNA support is readily available, ...
Is the keyboard layout involved in "hardware" definition - in any way that
affects anything these days?

You read more into it than I meant - ubiquitous means

system not using VTAM?
