<< Two questions:
1) Is there a FAQ somewhere that lists all IBM part nubmers and what they
are? I've got a friend offering me an IBM 3278, and I can't remember
if that's a dumb terminal or if it's something more exciting. >>
not that i know of, although i think you can call boulder parts for parts
lookup. 800.388.7080 i can look up fru part numbers when i'm at work though.
3278 isnt worth much unless you have an ibm mainframe to connect it to. its
just a plain old ugly terminal. i think the 3279 was colour and the 3278 was
monochrome. I do have most of the parts to an ibm xt3270 around here
somewhere...
