Wow, I remember the PC/XT3270. We had one in the office I worked in at my
University. If I remember correctly, it was a channel attached terminal
device an ISA card. We never used it for anything more than a dumb terminal,
but I much preferred the old 3278s.

In my first group I ever worked in at Cisco, we the RS/6000 equivalent of
the PC/XT370 - don't remember the model, but it ran MVS on a coprocessor.
Fairly nifty if you're into mainframes. I never went beyond 370 assemply and
a little bit 'o REXX.
