Hi Dr.Franken,
thanks for that bit of information :)
My 'console PC' is an PCI based IBM running Windows 2000, so that should be fine then.
I think I'll go 5250-Express fishing on Ebay ;)
Rene.

Subject: Re: Curious about IBM PCI Twinax card for PC experiences.
HA! Twinax PC hardwre... First put on in an IBM PC in 1984. The PC had a
hard drive and enabling the emulation software made the hard drive
disappear (The board swiped IRQ 5 which was shared by the HD Controller.)
These days I don't have a PC with a slot that would even take a twinax
card. Although, I've never looked, maybe someone made one for PCIe???
Either way it's going to be a software thing. If you have software for
the card that supports your PC O/S (e.g. Windows XP will be good, 8 will
likely be a disaster) then you are OK.

Greetings all,
I was curious if anybody has ever worked with these IBM PCI Twinax adapter cards (for PC) that you sometimes see on Ebay.
Are these good substitutes for a 5250 console? Or are they something to steer away from?
I'm considering putting one of these in my Operations Console PC, as a addition to it's LAN console functionality.
Regards,
Rene.
