An online input/output deviceattacheddirectly to the Model l S
A terminal devicein a communications

The 3741 Data Station, Model 1 or 2, is a singleoperator key entry station usedto

The 3741 Programmable work station, Model 3 or 4. providesadditionatfunctions
beyondthe scopeof the 3741 Datastation. lt hasthe capabilityto operateunder
the control of an applicationprogramwritten in Application control Language
(ACL). System/3doesnot support this language; however,ACL can be usedfor
offline applications.
One 3741 (Model1,2,3, or 4) can be attached directlyto the System/3Model lE
to provide,in addition to the input or output of data, necessary
systeminput and
output functions,such as enteringoperation control Language.The Model 2 or 4
can also be usedwith System/3Model 15 via its BSCA, BSCC, LCA attachments
or

IBM 3410/3411 MagneticTapeSubsystem
The 3410/3411 MagneticTape Units readfrom and write to half-inchmagnetic
tape. The 3410 is a tape unit only; the 3411 is a tape unit and a control unit in
the sameframe. From one to four tape units can be attachedto System/3 Model 1b.
The 3410/3411Models1,2, and3 havedata rateso;f 20,40, and g0 kilobytesper
second,reipectively. All units in a magnetictape systemmust be the samemodel.
Recording deniity can be 800 or 1,600 bits per inch (bpi) for g+ract trpr; or.Z-OO,
556, or 800 bpi for 7-tracktape.
Both the 3410 and 3411 aredesk-high units with tape reelsmounted horizontally
ratherthan vertically. A transparent
slidingcover provideseasyaccess the tape
to
reels.
Each3410/3411 tape unit must be equippedwith a special feature that specifies
the read/writeformat desired. The featuresare singledensity,dual density, and
7'track. Dual-densityand 7-track featurescannot be installedon the samesubsystem.

IBM 3270 Information DisplaySystem
The 3270 Information Displaysystem consists display stations(screen
of and
keyboard),printers,and control units. The systemoffers a choiceof display sizes
(480 or 1,920 characters),
keyboards, and printer speeds to 120 characters
(40 per
second, 120 to 300 linesper minute,assuming 64-character
a set).
The componentsof the 3270 aredesigned many different data communication
for
systemconfigurations.The system/3 Model 1b supportsthe following:
3271 Control Unit
3274 Control Unit
3275 DisplayStation
3276 Control Unit DisplayStation
3277 Display Station
3278 DisplayStation
3284 Printer
3286 Printer
3287 Printer
3288 Line Printer
3289 Line Printer
The 327Ouses binarysynchronous communications with eitherthe ASCII or the
EBcDlc code structureand transmitsdata at speeds to 9600 bps. The 3270
up
can be usedon switchedpoint-to-point nonswitched
or multipointchannels.
