3270 is supported via tn3270 and tn3270E.   That’s the protocol supported by 
IBM OSA or Visara CCA3074 etc.   You can probably find some old coax manuals 
for native 3270.

So if the protocol is still supported, and still used, and still a valid 
programming interface, why is there no *current* manual available from IBM 
documenting it?

I think IBM still supports 3270 access, if not the 3270s themselves.

But if the data stream hasn't changed since the -7 manual was published, 
there's no need for an update...

Does IBM continue to support the device?  If not, there's little
business case to provide user's manuals.

Regardless, some documentation is necessary as long as IBM products
depend on 3270 data streams.
