I guess it's not just "Google is your friend" but also, for us anyhow, "Bitsavers is your friend"! And a bit more digging revealed the following - just as a matter of interest!: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/27xx/GA22-6864- 5_2701_Component_Description_Aug71.pdf <quote> The IBM Terminal Adapter Type III permits the attachment of the System/360 central-computer complex to high-speed, remotely located IBM 2260/2848 Display complexes. This capability provides for the accessing and display of System/360 stored data at convenient remote locations. </quote> Chris Mason On Fri, 12 Nov 2010 16:02:27 -0600, Rick Fochtman <[email protected]> wrote: >--------------------------------<snip>--------------------------- >And I think Computer History Museum is looking for 2260 docs (and >whatever the controller was called). >-----------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------- > >IIRC, the controller was a 2848. > >Rick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
