Introduction
Chapter 1. Introducing the IBM 3151
The IBM 3151 is an ASCII Display Station used for entering data into or
retrieving data from a host system. The display station can be connected to both
IBM and non-IBM systems.
The IBM 3151 consists of; a video element, a keyboard, a cartridge, and a stand
(accessory) as shown in Figure 1-1.
The U.S. English machine does not use a cartridge for its operation in native
(IBM 3151) or built-in emulation modes. An optional cartridge can be inserted
into the rear of the video element to emulate other manufacturers' display
terminals, whose emulations are not built-in.
The national language models always rt'quire a national language cartridge fo~
operations in both native and IBM 3101 ~mulation modes. The national language
cartridges can display characters in their countries' languages.
