Hello Don,

I think you can add;
5251 Model 11 - Local terminal and
5251 model 12 - remote workstation and controller
These devices originally for S34, S38 I am sure were also used on AS400
Thanks for pointing out! Searching for more information, I guess, the screen was always ca. 14" Green? Was there 27 by 132 already? I guess, no.

On PDF page 43, there's a 5252 shown. What's that?! A terminal on one side and… a card reader?
A page further I see that the 5251/12 is a 5251/11 with kind of a 5394 integrated. Understood.
I remember very well that the keyboards were, in my opinion, really great.
From what I have seen, it reminds me very much of 1970's typewriters. ;-)

I was somewhat surprised to see it has a fan!
The positioning and size of the keys, but most importantly the feel of
the key press.
That's what the author of the above articles also wrote. :-)
:wq! PoC
