[vcf-midatlantic] dp8340n IBM 3270 protocol transmitter encoder

[dave.g4ugm at gmail.com]

Bill,
 Certainly, used for 3270 co-ax connection. There is a project here:-

https://ajk.me/building-an-ibm-3270-terminal-controller

to interface to an Arduino and hence to a PC. I have built a couple, but you
need a few other chips and a transformer....
... do you have any of the other chips?
