so that an entire 1130 system.
I have no real engineering data (Big Blue Binders) on the 2841, but it
actually would not suprise me is the 1131 or 1800 was the processor inside
(or maybe a modified version).
While we're on the subject of IBM big iron, does anyone here know
offhand what type of interface and protocol the 3290 plasma display
terminal speaks? Also, does anyone know the part number of a keyboard
that will work with it?
Thanks,
