I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find a copy of some software to
make an IBM 3270 Emulation Adapter (the short ISA one) useful. I hear
that IBM's PCOMM/3270 2.0 - 4.0 or so will work (on DOS) with the
card.

I hope you see this auction in time, it shows only 5 hours left.

IIRC this would fill the bill with either the long or short variety of
3270 adapter.
You of course need a device for the other end of the hose, (coax), such
as a mainframe or 3174 controller, but this will make the PC into a 3270
terminal. I used it on several systems back in the day.
There is also a program, ind$file which will let you upload and download
files to and from a mainframe included.
thanks
