Wow, that is a very detailed manual.
I am trying to find more information to no avail. Actually the only picture of an IBM terminal with a cylindrical tube is the one in your article, there is nothing else on the entire Internet. I will keep investigating.
- kens 7mo agoOh, I see the difference now. In the photo of the IBM 2260 terminal that I used, the bezel is rectangular and flat. In every other photo of the 226, the bezel is sunken and the screen is oval-shaped. I'll ask around and see if I can find out why. Maybe the photo that I used is a later version with a better CRT?
- rbanffy 7mo agoI wonder what the knob on the side was for. Vertical position seems absurd. That’s also a very large screen compared to how much text it’s displaying. The 2260 was a very odd contraption.
