Hi Question about 3270, once again. As you might know, interest in 3270 hardware increased recently, due to the emerge of Andrew Kay's oec[0,1]. I have built the required hardware in order to be able to talk to the 3290 display that I have. Unfortunately this is a DFT terminal that is currently not supported. Implementing support for it will only be possible if protocol traces can be acquired between an establishment controller and a DFT terminal, hence the question:
* Does anybody on the list here have access to an active 3270 setup with DFT displays? Please also speak up if you have access to a setup with 3270 printers. Mildly related question: * Does anybody on the list here have any 3270 displays or (small) printers collecting dust in their basements that they are willing to let pass on? I am also interested in selector light pens and operator identification card readers. I am also running a setup based on [2] with a 3196-B10. So in case you are having excess 5250 displays or printers, I'd be interested to hear about that. Thank you. -Alex [0] https://github.com/lowobservable/oec [1] https://ajk.me/building-an-ibm-3270-terminal-controller [2] https://github.com/inmbolmie/5250_usb_converter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
