If you want “real” terminals to hook up to it (yea, I know IBM 3290’s are cool)
the easiest terminals to find are the IBM 3178/3179. Usually you’ll be able to
get the display and then have to hunt a keyboard (but it’s the IBM standard
keyboard with the 5-pin DIN connector…any of those should work). Folks have
(unfortunately) figured out that they can get more for the keyboard than the
terminal.
