There was a product called the Yale IUP and later product version the 7171 Device Attachment Control Unit which "converted" ASCII displays (like the IBM 3101) into 3270 protocol devices. Later there was the 3174 Controller with the Asynchronous Emulator Adapter (AEA) which is what I think you are

I thought it would be cool if the hardware platform could emulate a set of Keyboard/Video/Mouse devices via pretend PCI devices presented into the LPAR that hook into like a VNC / RemoteDesktop / SPICE software service that runs on the SE or HMC. If you virtualize it like pretend PCI devices (

Thinking about this a little more, I think what would be nice to have is something along the lines of the OSA-ICC, which presents locally attached 3270 device to the O/S, but is reachable via TCP/IP. We could call it the OSA-ASC and it would present a locally attached VT220 to either Linux

The ASCII controller was the 7171, developed by Dr. Wehrle's team in the Glendale Lab in the 1980's. My car pool buddy at the time, Tom Murphy Jr. (the other Tom Murphy for those of you in VM) was the lead developer on that box. Fred C. Shaheen Manager, System z Virtualization Development
