IBM Programmed Symbols Adapter

This card was designed (as you might guess) to do ehanced stuff (in
particular, special
character sets and/or graphics) when emulating a 3270 terminal (or, more
appropriately,
one of the 3270 family graphics terminals).

The other card it connects to would be the special 3270 display adapter on
a 3270 PC.

Unless you are going to hook an IBM 3270 PC up to a real mainframe, it
won't be of any
use to you. If you don't have a 3270 PC, you might well want to donate it
to someone who
does (like me ;-) ).
