Actually, there were a few 3270 Nubus boards for the 'new' Mac II's and Mac
SE/030. If memory serves, one was made by a company called Avatar, and
another by Attachmate. About the time the Mac II came out, developers were
realizing that although Apple dominated the educational market, it was
quickly losing ground in the business world, and connectivity to the world
of Big Blue was vital.
