I recently saw pictures on the VCF of a 3270 keyboard a guy had (or was in
the process of) hacking to work on a PC.

We have an IBM 3270, as well as several of the
IRMA 3270. I can test the
3270 machine, but I don't know how to test the 3270 cards. They are LONG
ISA boards.

I have a feeling they came with a replacement IBM Diagnostics disk which had
an extra test on for the card. I can't really see many folks wanting one as
the real fun is in using a real 3270. If you just want to connect a PC to a
mainframe then TN3270 works just fine and is virtually indistinguishable from
the use experience side of things.
