I don't know about IRMA boards but I seem to remember the hardware and
software were separate. OS/2 EE did I think come with a 3270 card.
For the PC several folks produced software that worked with the cards
including IBM, Irma, Attachmate etc.

The 5160 I got MAY have had the special video and interface boards in
it, but I can't recall at the moment.
