No. That one sounds like the special keyboard
interface card for the
PC/3270. There is a special keyboard cable that connects to one of the
9-pin sockets and also to the 5 pin DIN socket on the system board. I
can't remember what the other socket is for (mouse?). That card should be
a single full-length card with an Intel microcontroller (8048 or 8051
series - I forget) on it.
I have a IBM PC/3270 and it has a three board set inside with all the
boards connected together. The board I described in my previous message
was in a system in a thrift store and I couldn't open it up to look inside
unfortunately. But it wasn't a 3270 PC because that model had a specific
model number (can't remember the number right now).
