Gerhard Sometimes I do the obvious, namely use the right Google search words.
I tried again with > 3275 3284 IBM "Model 3" < and the first hit gave this as the sample text: "Printadapter: For the 3275: specifies whether the printer adapter feature and corresponding 3284 Printer Model 3 are present on the 3275 Display Station. ..." When I pulled up the page itself, nary a search word to be found! It was the same with the second hit but the third hit was some sort of reference manual with the following text: "Specifies whether or not the IBM 3275 terminal being defined has an IBM 3284 model 3 printer attached." Sure we all know about 3278 Model 3, and following machines with Models 3, but in the days of the original 327x range, I remembered only one Model 3 and that 3284 printer is it. Chris Mason P.S. I'm at home with the TV on in the background and someone just said "Get a life" - right! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerhard Postpischil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 01 September, 2006 2:24 PM Subject: Re: >27x132? > Chris Mason wrote: > > If you have documentation to hand you may be able to work out what the > > special "Model 3" is I remember associated with the 3275 somehow also > > associated with having a printer (a 3284 ?) attached.
