Tell me: I've seen references in the 5250 data stream manual to a 5252, the first 5250 terminal with two "sides" -- but I understand that unlike InfoWindows and Yestations, with their figurative "sides," the 5252 had two LITERAL sides, two physical screens and keyboards facing opposite directions. Is that some kind of a put-on, or was there really such an animal?
yes - i work on some in the early 80's. When offices had scores of keypunchers,
it was a cheaper alternative. It was loud when everyone was typing away. jim (midrange since '80)
