The 3742 had the same number of lines for entry as a 3741. You initialized the 8 inch diskettes with a sector size of 128 bytes. Paula "Charly Jones" <charly301@hotmail.com> on 07/11/2000 11:00:38 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com cc: (bcc: Paula Ewald/GENOFFICE/TEXAS/GLAZER) Subject: 3741 (was 9347) Thanks everyone for the trip down memory lane... I wish I had 5 cents for every time I had a tape that I couldn't read because it was recorded at 3200 bpi on a 9347. Here is my question. Can anyone remember if the 3742 Dual Data Station had two full input lines of 40 characters for each of the operators? I know the single operator 3741 Data Station had 3 lines of 40 characters and 8 characters on the fourth line. My memory is that the 3742 "split" the available display space between the two operators, who sat facing each other across the little desk gizmo. If it was actually "split" each would have a total of 64 characters. 40 + 20 + 4. But I think each operator had at least two lines of 40 characters. I have a couple of 3741 Data Stations in the Gig Harbor IBM GSD Museum. One has yellow color panels and the other has red. The red one also has a bisynch communication adapter to connect it to the System 3/15D. Let's see if we can resolve this in thirty responses or less...
