Re: Dedicated console

Hello Rob,

I never saw one in person but I believe a 5252 was only a 12 line display. And there was a display on the front and the back so you could really stack your office people side by side and across from each other on long tables. I'd like to think it was what led to the unionization of the office environment. It was specifically mentioned as not supported on the AS/400.

A bit vague, but I'll do further research. But then, if it's not supported on the AS/400, I'm not too much interested in providing details.

From the photos in the PDF, it seems that there was a common picture tube and mirrors provided a split-view to the users on the front and backside.

:wq! PoC
