Right: If you pull the display card out (and the special keyboard card and
attached memory card), then what you get is indeed a plain old XT. But if
you leave the display card in, THEN you need the corresponding monitor.
(I do note, however, that the 3270 PC Maintenance Information manual that I
have *implies* that one can also hook up a monochrome adapter to the 3270PC
display adapter. But I have *never* seen one configured that way.)

True, so long as you have the MONITOR. I believe
the original
correspondent did not have the monitor, and another correspondent suggested
that an ordinary monochrome monitor would work. Not true, AFAIK.
