But the 3780 was only an improved 2780 - from
http://www.3780-emulation.com/3780-emulation-bisync-protocol.htm :
<quote>
The 3780 terminal was a later model than the 2780 terminal and used a more
robust version of the bisync protocol -- hence the terms "3780 bisync" vs.
"2780 bisync". Virtually all bisync in use today conforms with the 3780
version.

Incidentally I've recently been advising a friend about replacing a 3745
supporting BSC where it turned out the process control machine was driven by
3270 BSC rather than, as initially assumed, 3780/2780 BSC.
And, just to show how much the content of posts can drift from the title,
the 360/25 is the reason that, whenever on the list the topic of the comma
which forces use of the base rather than the index register is mentioned, I
have a story to tell relating to rewriting an assembler program for a
benchmark so that a 360/30 is replaced by a 360/25 rather than replaced by
an OEM.

You are letting your white hair show!
If everyone had their own, I'd have to point out that 2780 RJE somewhat
predates the venerated SNA. I'd have to say I would then have to refer to
the delights of working with *BSC* products - a simpler world
altogether - but a contentious one.[1]

You're right; I might have been thinking about a 3780, instead of a 2780.
(Still remember using a 360/25 as a remote print terminal, with 3 1403N1's
atached.)
