So what people are telling me is this is basically just an XT to me
unless I have something that uses 3270 terminals to hook it up to.
Then I can use it as a terminal. That is if I can get the special
keyboard and monitor. Is that right? Well I did just give a bunch of
furniture in my storeroom to my brother which freed up some
space. I guess I could hold on to it for a while just in case
something turned up. Hmmmm.
