IBM 3196

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IBM 3196 Display Station is a 24x80 monochrome display and keyboard made by IBM. It can be used with the System/36, System/38, or AS/400 through wired attachment or Telnet. It uses a typewriter keyboard to enter, display, and manipulate data on a 12-inch monochrome screen. The 3196 performs all the basic functions of the 5291-2, as well as some additional functions. The 3196 also has a 25th character line containing an operator information area. The 3196 is compatible with the 5291 Model 2 Display Station and applications written for that product will operate on the 3196.[1]
