    Anyone know of a way to setup IBM3151 terminal to be used as monitor for PC. Would also need cable configuration from 25pin D shell to standard SVGA connection

      Hi
      as you have said it is a terminal of which I checked you cannot connect this to a pc as a monitor. The 25w connector is a serial (RS232) port to connect to a mini/mainframe computer via a minimum of 3 wires using XON/XOFF software hand shaking. you could connect it to the comm port on your pc but this would only allow you to talk (ie type messages) via a terminal program to a 3rd party on the terminal. Sorry this is not good news.

      Best Regards
