Top posted thread. I see no problem with it. BTW is anyone here familiar with the Cisco 2612? It is mentioned below for those who wish to read further.

There needs to be a Token Ring concentrator between the 3174 and the Cisco. I use an IBM 8226-001 from ebay. I forget what I paid but it could not have been over $40 I don't think. The 3174 Token Ring output connector is a 9 pin D-sub like a serial port and I use a small converter that has a 9 pin D-sub connector and an RJ-45 socket. It is a generic item that you have to open up and connect the two connectors however you want for your application. The connection diagram was on the internet at one time. I got this at a local hobby electronnics store that burned about a year ago and I have no idea where to order such a thing. Using standard ethernet cables to go from the 3174/converter to the concentrator to the Cisco is not the perfect way but it works if the cables are kept as short as possible so the impedance mis-match is not to bad. Good luck.

(it sounds like it comes standard with Ethernet and token ring ports)... Do I need something else also or does it go: Terminal --> 3174 --> cisco 2612 --> Ethernet network --> Hercules? -Bob bbrown at harpercollege.edu <mailto:bbrown%40harpercollege.edu> #### #### Bob Brown - KB9LFR Harper Community College ## ## ## Supervisor of Operations Palatine IL USA #### #### Saved by grace -----Original Message----- From: H390-MVS at yahoogroups.com <mailto:H390-MVS%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:H390-MVS at yahoogroups.com <mailto:H390-MVS%40yahoogroups.com>] On Behalf Of scott Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2012 8:45 AM To: H390-MVS at yahoogroups.com <mailto:H390-MVS%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [H390-MVS] Re: Real 3278 won't work with turnkey Bob, I can check with my source on Monday to ensure the card will work in a -51r.
