Had a large diode matrix 'PROM' PCB IIRC.
I wonder if it's not the 3000-series display. The 6000 series was
strictly cordwood modules. I did find the tab list for chassis 12 in
the 6600 here:

The 3290 terminal is this one:

These were used as remote entry terminals, usually with at least a
card reader and a printer.
It's possible that you ran across a 200-series IGS console, but
that'd be pretty astounding:

I loved to watch the IGS people fooling around with the 270

while it was running--green and blue.
