Mike I should have followed up on this post before and actually taken a look at that somewhat defective Wikipedia article. For example, as we all know and discussed often, all of the 3278 non-2 models can adopt the -2 dimensions, not just the -5.
I'd better stop before I break my keyboard in frustration at the errant ignorance but before I do: There never was nor never will be a 3277 model 3 with 32 rows or any other number of rows!!! All that can be said in favour of this article is that colour is correctly spelled - or should that be spelt? Truly - although there are pointers to interesting "peripheral" spin-offs - the article is riddled with errors. - Actually the reason I bothered to look is that I wondered how you derived the "8 colours on black" out of the article. Stretching the colours of, say, a 3279 to the maximum, the total is 8 *including black*: black - 0 red - 1 green - 1 blue - 1 turquoise - 2 pink - 2 yellow - 2 white - 3 The numbers are the number of primary colours involved. - Chris Mason On Thu, 26 May 2011 14:40:45 -0500, Mike Schwab <[email protected]> wrote: >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_3270 >3277 Green on black >3278 8 colors on black. >3290 4 24*80 screens orange on black. > >On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Lindy Mayfield ><[email protected]> wrote: >> Big things with, if I remember green letters.
