RE: New Risc and Decision Data Terminals

A buddy of mine a few years back gutted a 5251-11 terminal that died. Then
built a fish tank inside and had an IBM 5251-11 fish tank. Looked pretty
cool! I forget how he got it set up to feed the fish etc., but it was
definitely a conversation piece.

Lurton,

>I don't think an old 5250 model 11 terminal will work on an AS/400.

I have a client who still has some 5251-11 terminals they got with
their S/34 in early '82.  They still work (unfortunately!) and have
through all their upgrades of various S/36 and AS/400 models.  But
they are still on a 9402-200 running V3R2, so I don't know for sure
they would work with a RISC machine. 

They are down to one or two of their original four 5251-11's; the fans
in the other ones got too noisy although I think the terminals were
otherwise working OK.  The 5251's are now just kept as emergency
spares.
