However, my 5271 originally (a long time ago, before I

had a card with a BNC connector on the back, which sounds like it may
have been a host interface.
A long time ago we used some PC/3270s and when they
were junked I saved
a few of the cards with BNC connectors so that I could salvage the BNC
connector. I have one left. It is 8-bit and almost square. There is some
standard TTL, one Toshiba package (gate array ?), one IBM SLT package,
and a pulse transformer. It has a DIP switch with a single switch to
select slot 8 or slots 1-7.
What was special about slot 8?
