RE: HMC 5250 console, 132 column support

Been there, done that - ugh.

But, I sure did like the keyboard.

Relocating a 5251 was always fun, all 94 lbs worth.
Especially up a flight of steps.

You've never truly lived until you've been shocked by the message waiting buzzer inside the keyboard of a 5251 Model 11.

Just so you know I had a 132 column console on my S/36. It was that big "E.T." model 3180 I believe. It also had about 132 keys on the keyboard. :-)

Greetings, Couple of things on this thread.

No, today the HMC console does NOT support 132 columns.
