I should think so. For many years, we used an old
"pizza-box"-sized PS/2, whose hard drive had long-since
bit the dust, with a text-based terminal emulator (the one
that came with the Andrew twinax cards, something to the
effect of "3x-twin"?) running on it. We only put in the
Yestation because it was cheap, took up less room, and
didn't depend on loading the emulation software off a
floppy disk. Theoretically, it, too, could work with a
flat-screen monitor (as could a 3488 or 3489), except that
when we tried it with at least two completely different
flat-screens, the only one(s) it would work at all with
were practically unreadable (to put it bluntly, they
looked like s--t).
Incidentally, when buying an 8-input KVM switch for our
computer cage, we also found that only one out of three
would work with the Yestation, and recognize it as a
legitimate input. We unloaded the ones that didn't work on
eBay.
Speaking of eBay: Just because there's only one vendor
with Twinax terminals on the block right now doesn't mean
that situation is likely to last very long. Keep watching
it for a month, and you'll find different vendors, and
different products, coming and going all the time.
