Actually, the
first one was called XT/370 because it plugged into an

Then came AT/370. Those were obviously ISA boards. Then came some

Guy,
I am not sure about the other systems but my understanding of the XT/370
and AT/370 was that they were glorified terminals i.e. instead of having a
terminal and a PC on your desk you could have it all in one. Is this wrong?
I think you're thinking of the 3270 PC and 3270 AT, which was pretty much
what you described here...
