IBM System/36D Component Description

IBM 2265 Display Station Modell

IBM 2845 Display Control


This manual describes the functional and operating characteristics of the
I IBM 2265 Display Station Model 1 and the IBM 2845 Display Control. The
two units combine to form a display system that provides visual access to
data stored in an IBM System/360. The IBM 2265 Display Station Model 2,
which can be attached only to an IBM 2772 Multi-Purpose Control Unit, is
described in System Components: IBM 2770 Data Communications
I System, Form GA27-3013.
