IBM 3153 ASCII Terminal Display - ASCII versus PC Style keyboard
Applicable to: World-Wide
The 3153 offers two styles (layouts) of keyboards:
ASCII-style:
- The 3153 ASCII-style layout is very similar to the 3151 ASCII-style keyboard, P/N 1392595.
- The 3153 ASCII-style keyboard has the following keys: Clear, Reset, Erase EOF, Jump, Send, Send Line.
- IBM ASCII-style keyboard was initially defined on the 3164, 3162, 3163, 3164 and later by the 3151.
- Recommend when configured for IBM 3151 emulation and 'Key Mode = ASCII'
PC-style:
- The 3153 PC-style layout is identical to the 3151PC-style keyboard, P/N 1395162.
- The 3153 PC-style keyboard has the following keys: Page Up, Page Down, Home, End.
- IBM ASCII-style keyboard was initially defined for the 3151.
In 1988-89, ASCII terminals, including 3151 were beginning to attach to PC's. The PC's. has multi-user operating systems that support PC Mode or Scan Code Mode. This keyboard was a result of the keyboard look and feel the same as a PC keyboard.
- Recommend when configured for IBM 3151 emulation and 'Key Mode = Scan'.
- The PC-style keyboard was preferred (becoming a defactostandard.)
Changing between the ASCII-style and PC-style keyboard DOES NOT change the operation of the 3153. The 3153 firmware is inside the 3153 video element. The 3153 changes based on the 3153 setup menus, not based on which keyboard is attached.
