See also http://vetusware.com/download/IBM%20PC%203270%20Emulation%20Program/?id=12086 perhaps that could help, too. Regards Götz

It would be helpful to know which 3rd party programs support the IBM adapters/API as well. These programs/products have been gobbled up by different companies over time so it's hard to keep things straight, then there is the problem of what OS they support. DCA/Attachmate/Microfocus is especially confusing with the "IRMA" and "Extra" naming of products that are completely different.

Pat I hope you see this auction in time, it shows only 5 hours left. https://www.ebay.com/itm/311574987362 Vintage-IBM-Personal-Communications-3270-4-0-Upgrade-New-NIB/ IIRC this would fill the bill with either the long or short variety of 3270 adapter. You of course need a device for the other end of the hose, (coax), such as a mainframe or 3174 controller, but this will make the PC into a 3270 terminal. I used it on several systems back in the day. There is also a program, ind$file which will let you upload and download files to and from a mainframe included. thanks Jim

I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find a copy of some software to make an IBM 3270 Emulation Adapter (the short ISA one) useful. I hear that IBM's PCOMM/3270 2.0 - 4.0 or so will work (on DOS) with the card. Pat
