The M-53 is a Czechoslovakian twin 30 mm anti-aircraft cannon. The M-53 comprises an open mounting on a light four-wheeled trailer manned by a four member detachment. The 20 mm cannons have a 2430 mm long barrel and fire high explosive or API rounds with a muzzle velocity of 1000 metres per second and a cyclic rate of between 450 and 500 rounds per minute to a practical range of 2000 metres. The M-53 can penetrate 60 mm of armour at 500 metres when used in a ground support role. Research M-53
The IBM 3270 Workstation Program allows your IBMPC, XT, AT, PS/2, or 3270 PC emulate 3278/79 display terminals. On a PC equipped with a corresponding emulation adapter and coaxial cable, connection to the host system can be to a 3174/3274/3276 cluster controller, 3745/3725/3720 communications controller, or directly to the 9370 or 4361 (with an Integrated Communications Adapter). The product also supports Token Ring attachment to a 3745/3725/3720 communications controller, 3174 cluster controller in CUT or DFT mode, 3274 cluster controller in DFT mode, or directly to the 9370 Token Ring subsystem controller. The Workstation Program supports up to four SNA sessions, six PCDOS sessions, and two notepad sessions. It also supports LIMEMS version 3.2 to accommodate terminal emulation software and DOS applications beyond the 640K RAM limit. Expanded memory support provides a migration path from the Workstation Program to OS/2 Extended Edition with its Communications Manager (which provides the functionality of the Workstation
Program.) Because it supports LIM/EMS version 3.2, all DOS sessions access the region above 640K. However, only data, not applications, can occupy this region. EMS support is available with IBM's Expanded Memory Adapter (XMA). These adapters can be configured to support EMS or the extended memory used by OS/2. The Workstation Program supports baseband or broadbandPC Network Adapters and full screen 3278 model 3, 4, or 5 support with the 8514/ A display adapter. File transfers are handled via the Send/ Receive protocol and require a host component to be loaded. The Enhanced Connectivity Facilities (ECF) Server-Requester Programmers Interface (SRPI) is supported for the development of programs which take advantage of these protocols. There is additional programming support for 3270 High Level Language Application Program Interface (HLLAPI) and Application Programmers Interface (API). Research IBM 3270 Workstation Program
IRMA is the standard product for a direct link between the IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 model 25 or 30 and an IBMSNA (Systems Network Architecture) network. It offered the first coax connection between a PC and IBMmainframe. IRMA connects to an IBM 3174, 3274, or 3276 cluster controller that can be directly or remotely attached to the mainframe, or be attached to an integral terminal controller with a type A adapter. The package includes a hardware adapter card that fits into a full-length slot in a PC, emulation software and file-transfer software. IRMA fits into existing 3270 networks by attaching directly to 3278/79 controller ports configured for Control Unit Terminal (CUT) single session support. Nothing additional is needed. IRMAlink file transfer software for TSO and CMS environments is included.
IRMA provides emulation of IBM 3278 terminal models 2, 3, and 4 and 3279 colour terminal models 2A, 3A, 2B and 38. Support for 12 IBM keyboards, light pen, four and seven colour modes, and APL/TEXT keyboards is also included. In addition, it supports hotkey switching between DOS and terminal sessions and Application Programming Interface (API) support for development of programs which interact directly with a host session through the hardware adapter. Sample programs for the API are included. IRMA 2 is an enhanced version of the original that adds support for the IBM 3278 model 5 terminal through horizontal and vertical scrolling. If you use specific 132 column supported display adapters, you can get full-screen monochrome and colour model 5 support.
IRMA 2 also includes keyboard utilities which allow re-mapping and let you create macros for frequently repeated commands and new keyboard profiles. Its Extended AttributeBuffer (EAB) supports character attributes such as normal, blinking, reverse video, highlighted, and underlined (mono only), APL character set support and the ability to capture terminal screens to disk or local/system printer. Because IRMA 2 uses software-loaded instead of PROM-loaded microcode, it can be upgraded by changing diskettes rather than by replacing PROMchips. The IRMA 2 MCA offers the same functionality as the IRMA 2 for the IBM PS/2 models 50, 50z, 60, 70, and 80. Research IRMA
Reflection 1 and Reflection 1 Plus were designed by Hewlett-Packard 3000 experts to turn the IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 into a fully functional HP 3000 workstation by emulating the HP 2392, 2622A, or 2624B (which activates advanced forms processing). They also emulate the DEC VT102 terminal. Both Reflection packages support speeds to 38.4K bps via direct connect. Screen features similar to those of the HP 262x as well as complete block-mode capability for V-3000 are supported. 132- column display is available through horizontal scrolling. Both Reflection packages include a proprietary built-in application programming interface (API), allowing programmers to extend the terminal emulation capabilities of the package by writing DOS applications to existing host programs. Manual terminal emulation commands, such as typing on a PC keyboard, or issuing host commands, can be simulated through API commands. In addition, both packages support Codepage 863, and print to disk capabilities. Reflection supports a type-ahead key buffer so
you do not have to wait for your HP 3000 print spoolings. It includes a complete system for transferring files between the PC and the HP 3000, VAX under VMS, and most UNIX and HPUX systems. Hostresident error checking programs are included as is support for XMODEM, with cyclic redundancy check (CRC), and KERMIT protocols. Reflection 1 Plus included all functions of Reflection 1, and added a function which lets you back up and restore PC files to a file on a VAX running VMS or UNIX. The host file transfer program maintained an internal structure in the backup file to keep track of all the PC files it contains. If something disastrous occurs and you needed to restore one or more files, you could tell Reflection 1 Plus to restore files in all subdirectories as well as the files in the specified directory. By using the command language program to invoke the backup procedure ensures timely, accurate, and automated file backups. Reflection 1 Plus supports LANS such as DEC's LAT, Novell, 3Com, Ungermann-Bass, and LANs that use interrupt 14. Both programs
support multitasking or background mode operation, so you can run DOS applications in the foreground, and hotkey back to your host session. Research Reflection 1
Reflection 2 is a software program designed to turn an IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 into the functional equivalent of DEC's VT52, 102, 220, and 320 terminals. The program shares some benefits offered by other Reflection products, such as background multitasking, and on-screen 132-column display (with supported adapters).

Reflection 7 is a terminal emulation program for the IBMPC, XT, AT, or PS/2 that enables them to become the functional equivalents of the Hewlett-Packard 2623A monochrome graphics terminal or the HP 2627A colour graphics terminal, as well as providing Tektronix 4010 and DEC VT102 emulations. HP 2627A colour graphics emulation can display graphs in up to eight colours and requires an EGA or VGA display adapter with 256K of video RAM and an EGA or VGA colour display. The HP 2623A monochrome graphics emulation runs with most standard graphics adapters. Colour graphics emulation features include the ability to create graphics text in eight sizes, either upright or slanted. Text can be displayed in any of four directions, and can be left, right, or centre justified. Plotters can be attached through a serial port to support either eavesdrop or pass-through mode.
Reflection 7 supports all the features of Reflection 1. Reflection 7 Plus supports LANs such as DEC' s LAT, Novell, 3Com, Ungermann-Bass, and LANs that support interrupt 14.
