Actually I have been learning more about HDLC, X.25, 3270 chitchat, etc., in order to try and get these Westinghouse airline terminals to talk. However, as we discussed during your last visit when we were at the Hole, I need to focus on graphics and not become exclusively a terminal museum. Get some twinax/bisync *graphics* terminals my way and I'll get a lot more interested. However, I just haven't found them. like the following are interesting models: - IBM 2250 (vector display) - IBM 3179 Display station (color or graphics) for IBM 3270 - IBM 3192G Terminal. 24 or 32 lines. Graphics. - IBM 3194 Advanced function colour display - IBM 3279 Color graphic terminal; 1979 - IBM 6153 Advanced monochrome graphics display - IBM 6154 Advanced color graphics display - IBM 6155 Extended monochrome graphics display - IBM 6180 Color plotter - IBM 6186 Color plotter - IBM 7372 Color plotter, 6 pen, desktop - IBM 7374 Color plotter - IBM 7375 Color plotter - IBM 7350 Image processor, a specialized terminal for scientific and research applications; 1983 - IBM 7404 Graphic Output - IBM XY749 Plotter - IBM XY750 Plotter The list is pretty sketchy and doesn't give details, or date of introduction, for most of these things. But judging from what's there, a number of models look like they could be interesting. I know IBM had a role in the history of graphics, but really IBM is such a world unto itself that it's going to take some considerable study on my part in order to understand the story, much less tell it to anyone else accurately. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
