HELP! I'M LOOKING FOR INFO .... RUSH! I WAS JUST GIVEN THE ASSIGNMENT BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED YESTERDAY (TYPICAL) ! I have a design need where I must convert between EBCDIC to ASCII code and visa versa. The hardware I must interface to is an old IBM 360/50 hooked to an IBM 1052 console. I need to pick off the data stream from the interconnecting cables and convert the data from IBM EBCDIC code to standard ASCII code on a serial RS232 port. Does anyone out there know if "such-a-animal" exists? It could be a hardware or software or combination solution, I'm open for suggestions, before I have to design it from the beginning. If you can be of any help call me at (614)860-4455 or send by electronic mail to ...!cbosgd!cbsck!tks Thanks! Tom Snow - AT&TBL Columbus, Ohio
