Only saw a 5252 in pictures. They were never supported under IBM i nor
OS/400. I suspect that terminal is what led to the unionization of some

Weirdest terminal ever. Two users, two keyboards, but only one CRT tube,

sitting on opposite sides of the device. Dumbest design ever.

Starting to think of the 5252. When a terminal with two "sides" had two
