The IBM 3270 PC (model 5271), released in October 1983, was an IBM PC
XT containing additional hardware which could emulate the behaviour of
an IBM 3270 terminal. It could therefore be used both as a standalone
computer, and as a terminal to a mainframe.
IBM later released the 3270 AT (model 5281), which was a similar
design based on the IBM PC AT.
