I really know next to nothing about the IBM mainframe world--I'm more of a retro-DEC guy. But that seeing that beautiful 3278 terminal pegs my retro-envy needle every time. God I would love to own one!

Can sell this to Costco and best buy

I wonder how hard it would be to write an emulator to run the actual 3174 software?

The ibm 3174 was just a controller to then link the terminals to an AS400 mini / mainframe

The 3174 support async hosts among other conversions so it would be interesting.

I forget if this was one of the products that used the 801/AMERICA CPU, I don't think it's a COTS microprocessor.
