RE: New Risc and Decision Data Terminals

It happens all the time.
I had some DD terminals a few years ago and the keyboards quit working when
we put on a release.  Seemed as though the terminals needed a new chip to
work.  It happens with IBM terminals too but at a slower pace.  I don't
think an old 5250 model 11 terminal will work on an AS/400.

                Hi all,

                I have a client that just cut over to a new 170 Risc box
running 4.3.  There
                are a number of older decision data 387 color terminals that
seem to be
                failing with device errors.  We have switched them with some
IBM
                (naturally!) terminals and the problems seem to go away.
Has anyone else
                had or heard of this problem.  There are a lot of Decision
Data terminals
                out there, I can't believe the all have to be replaced!

                Thanks

                john
