But the weirdest one that I've ever seen looked like two 3278-2 set one on top of the other. I can't find the model number. It had a single screen that looked about as wide as a 3278-2 and about 2 times as tall as wide. I think it could be configured as one monitor which was _really_ deep. I would guess 48 or 50 data lines. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
