I know, I just worded it poorly. Nothing in the 3272-3278 range provided color without a 3279 or 3179. We had just about everything (I had a 3275 for testing, still have my 3290), and two 3174 controllers (one 1L, one 63R). And our shops had a mix of one IBM 3274 (local non-SNA for operations, 3278s and 3180s), hundreds of ITT 3278/3289 equivalents on local-SNA, and an AT&T group (worst buy they ever made - used twisted pair wiring that kept getting errors due to electrical interference, and had an incompatible character set).
