Except that you will have to either find the correct monitor, or plug in a
PC bus (8 bit) display card or some such to drive whatever monitor you have
availble. If you do the latter, then you must also pull the special
keyboard and memory cards.

an XT to me
unless I have something that uses 3270 terminals to hook it up to.
Then I can use it as a terminal. That is if I can get the special
keyboard and monitor. Is that right? Well I did just give a bunch of
furniture in my storeroom to my brother which freed up some
space. I guess I could hold on to it for a while just in case
something turned up. Hmmmm.

The part quoted below about the display was
incorrect. A true 3270 PC
used a special display adapter as well as a special keyboard adapter and
some special expansion memory (cabled to the keyboard adapter, if I recall
correctly). However, you can pull all of that out, and you will have a
more or less standard XT. You can leave the coax card in, if it suits
your fancy, and you have a 327x controller around somewhere... 8-)
