IIRC, the 3274s were strictly bus and tag, and there were some 3174s that were ESCON-capable. I have no experience with the 9074 machines, but IBM doesn't support ESCON on anything more current than the z196/z114, do they? So you're looking at something like a PRIZM box to convert Ficon to ESCON (to parallel).

I'm thinking that IBM stopped support for all 3270 devices (including controllers) somewhere in the '90s. And I believe all the third party competitors have gotten out of this market. Now, before we get into a history discussion, and all the TN3270 support -- This thread is about actual physical single purpose hardware (i.e., ONLY accepts input from a keyboard, displays on screen, and via AID, sends an interrupt to an SCP for it to read the buffer(s)) that are actively being marketed, sold, and/or supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
