Re: Every day emulation



Tell me: I've seen references in the 5250 data stream
manual to a 5252, the first 5250 terminal with two "sides"
-- but I understand that unlike InfoWindows and
Yestations, with their figurative "sides," the 5252 had
two LITERAL sides, two physical screens and keyboards
facing opposite directions.

Is that some kind of a put-on, or was there really such an
animal?
yes - i work on some in the early 80's. When offices had scores of keypunchers, 
it was a cheaper alternative. It was loud when everyone was typing away.
