I've not seen one of those since the Exx days. Specifically on the E02

that was used at a Travel Agency we used to own....

I think so. ASCII terminals were long gone when Twinax Terminals were
still somewhat common.

I'll get a lended 9402-400 back somewhen. I'm thinking about putting an
ASCII WS Controller SPD card in there, but so I can only tinker wird this
relatively old box. So I'm searching an external device.

Building something myself with Linux and tn5250 and serial cards in
hardware: No thanks. Terminal management is somewhat broken nowadays: Most
often Linux Console and xterm are the only terminal definitions used
nowadays…

What kind of box are you putting it on?

9401-150.

I'm assuming you know that on more modern equipment you can put the

graphical adapter card in it, then the Unix partition it's assigned to can
use it.

Yes, you assume right. But I'm not talking about Linux. I'm talking about
attaching some ASCII terminals I have in my hobby room to the AS/400 (yes,
it's truly an AS/400!) I have.
