IBM produced an IBM PC program called DisplayWrite (DW IV was the last version, IIRC.) This allowed document interchangability with other IBM platforms, including the DisplayWriter and 5520. It was NOT a method to make the DisplayWriter DOS compatible, however. It let the PC act like a DisplayWriter, and produced format compatible documents. Sadly, I think this must be what you read about. I suppose a retro-fit kit to make the DisplayWriter PC compatible, but I've not heard of it. If you find anything like this, let us know...
