Although it may be specific to the S/34 alone, the S/34 cannot use a
terminal emulation card as its primary terminal/system console. You can
use it to emulate the other consoles, or any printer, but not the primary
one (in socket 0).
So these cards are of no use to someone with an IBM machine, a couple
spools of TwinAx, but no terminal - like myself.
Again, this may only relate to the S/34, but... FYI.

I have a whole box of them. I think a bunch of them are reversible ISA/MCA
cards too. You can also pick up "5250 emulation
cards", which allow your PC to
emulate a 5250 terminal. All of those that I've seen are ISA cards.
I've seen Microchannel ones too.
