Hi, I just want to report that the 5250 adapter I got from Inmbolmie in July still works very well. The IBM 3477 Terminal I obtained works fine with the box and I use the terminal frequently - the picture quality is far more friendly (crisp) for the eyes than the normal computer screen.(In my opinio...

Yes, this really looks very professional ! Congratulations ! Well done ! Regarding my older posts - there was either no reply (IBM) or I was provided with information we already have access to. So no new information on this, sorry. But I will continue to search for the document eegru is looking for ...

Relating to eegru's request for "5250 Information Display to System/36 and System/38 System Units Product Attachment Information". Since there was no answer from IBM yet I have posted a request for that document to a german IBM i / AS/400 user-group. Eventually this will help since I already got som...

Hi, here's a quick update - your comment on an "auto-configuration-feature" made me searching the net ... On this link : https://www.netphantom.com/APIDocumentation/se/entra/phantom/server/tn5250e/DataStream5250.html I found some information that you can query the terminal about its settings etc - a...

Hi, what an effort - I studied all that you wrote and I was astonished how long the "short piece of Python"-software is. At the moment I have printed out the code and I am analyzing what it does, so I can eventually provide you with clues etc. Will get back to you after the weekend. BTW - I found so...

Hi, thanks for the detailed clarification ! Yes, these are major stumbling-blocks for not using this chip, I agree with you ! So simply continue with the setup you have developed and already invested time and money. :-) In some older post you mentioned that there is some python (?) code, that is req...

This morning I read the documentation again and I stumbled accross the "DP8344B Biphase Communications Processor"-documentation, which I downloaded. Regardless of the current state of this project (which I fully support), wouldn't it be easier to use this "device", as it (as far as I understand) pro...

Hi, in the post dated 16.May 2020 14:37 there was this document mentioned : "5250 Information Display to System/36 and System/38 System Units Product Attachment Information". It seems that there is some demand for this document and there is no way to find it online. To assist the other readers here ...

Hi there ! Thanks for all the information - now I can see how this all works - but this doesn't matter - I am still interested and eventually we can speed up the python code over time - don't worry - the most vital point is that it works after all - albeit a bit slow as you mentioned. Currently I am...

Hi, this is great - and 80€ for the complete box ("plug-in ready") is not a problem - given the time, effort and "brain-power" you have invested into this project and that it is not "mass-produced".... Regarding the operation - I read the documentation you provided in this document and as far as I u...

Yes, this is really an awesome project - this is a piece of hardware I am looking for for ages..... Those Twinax Terminals are now quite old, but given the quality of the IBM Hardware they are mostly in good shape ! (albeit sometimes a bit yellowed...) You wrote "but I suppose that people that could...
