Re: S: 5308 external ASCII workstation controller

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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....

What kind of box are you putting it on?

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.  I have one on my P8 and use it as the console for one RedHat
partition.
