That sounds like a card which could enable my otherwise useless IBM monitor meant for the 3270XT. There was a previous discussion on this machine a while back. I think there were something like 5 cards in the total array which didn't leave much for peripherals in the XT. On the other hand I might be thinking of the Epson QX-10 Valdocs :^))

It's possible you need a 3270 Personal Computer. (In other words, the 3270 model number refers to the main product which your adapter "adapts", not the adapter card itself.) As I recall, the 3270PC consisted of one or more cards that went inside a regular PC. I forget what it did (there are a number of "big iron for small computers" products IBM made, and I can never keep track of them all, and I actually don't especially care). I think it turned your PC into a 3270 terminal so you could talk to big iron, without providing any "big iron" capability on the PC itself. But it could have been an emulator -- there was a series of those, so you could actually run some of the VM family of OSs on your computer. I'm only providing these details because it's possible that the card won't work by itself. You not only would need exotic IBM equipment, you would need the _right_ exotic IBM equipment. -- Derek
