Applications
This card was used to connect IBM PC-compatible computers to IBM mainframe and midrange systems running 3270/3278 protocols. Organizations deployed these cards to provide terminal access to legacy IBM systems without requiring dedicated 3278 terminal hardware. Compatible with any 8-bit ISA slot machine including IBM PC, XT, and AT systems. Commonly used in business data processing and administrative environments requiring mainframe connectivity.
This DCA PC/3278 8-bit ISA IBM 3278 terminal emulation card was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use. It has been inspected and appears to be in good condition. The PCB is clean with no visible damage, cracked traces, or burnt components. The ISA edge connector looks intact, and the BNC bracket connector is present and undamaged. The metal bracket shows light surface scuffing typical of normal service use. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
