The 3180 and 3192 displays could be configured to look like standard
3278 models 2-5 or like extended models 2-5, indicated by model
numbers 2+, 3+, 4+, 5+ or 6-9, depending on which of the two is under
discussion. The extended model numbers allowed a BIND in which the
primary size was *not* 24x80. This functionality was also available on
later 3270 devices. The extended modes were fully supported by CMS, by
TPX, by TSO and by ISPF, at least when the primary size was 43x80 and
the secondary 27x132, which was what I used.
