Re: Is it possible to get an extra-large (43x80 or 63x80) display in a 5250 emulator?

Rob,

I think the 5252 was a terminal that had screens on both sides of it.  So

Actually, I believe it was a single 24x80 screen mounted under the desk
surface facing up, with mirrors to split it so that each side saw just 12 x
80.  The characters were orientated to display correctly after being
reflected from the mirror (like the S/32 or 3741 or whatever).

The 5251-01 was a single user 12 x 80 with the exact same screen dimensions
as the typical 5251-11, but only half the screen got used.

IIRC

I hated both of them...

And you could set up a large row of these.  See
