The IBM 3164 ASCII Color Display Station is a general purpose asynchronous
ASCII/ISO display station that is designed to attach to both IBM and
non -\ 8 M systems. It consists of three display station elements:
1. A video element with a high quality 14-inch color CRT
2. A 102-key low profile keyboard
3. A logic element.
The video element is ergonomically designed with a tilt and swivel stand and
has a direct etched, anti-glare screen. The keyboard element is specifically
designed for use with asynchronous ASCii/iSO systems and provides such
ergonomic features as tactile feedback to the operator. The logic element
provides host attachment via an RS-232C communication interface (for Model
11) or an operator selectable RS-232C/RS-422A communication interface
(for Model 12) on the main port.
