Subject: twinax cards, linux, and hercules
A question for those of you who play with Hercules... Are
twinax cards
supported under Linux such that a 5250 terminal can be
connected and work?
NO. Hercules doesn't support any real IBM hardware. You can connect a real
3270 terminal but only by using the TN3270 support in the later 3174s. I
have such a setup. I don't know about remote controllers for 5250 , but if
you had an AS/400 or System/I box with a 5250 and TN3270 then that could
connect to Hercules.
