HA! Twinax PC hardwre... First put on in an IBM PC in 1984. The PC had a hard drive and enabling the emulation software made the hard drive disappear (The board swiped IRQ 5 which was shared by the HD Controller.)

These days I don't have a PC with a slot that would even take a twinax card. Although, I've never looked, maybe someone made one for PCIe???

Either way it's going to be a software thing. If you have software for the card that supports your PC O/S (e.g. Windows XP will be good, 8 will likely be a disaster) then you are OK.

Greetings all,

I was curious if anybody has ever worked with these IBM PCI Twinax adapter cards (for PC) that you sometimes see on Ebay.
Are these good substitutes for a 5250 console? Or are they something to steer away from?

I'm considering putting one of these in my Operations Console PC, as a addition to it's LAN console functionality.

Regards,

Rene.
