Workstation Element
Provided by the ASK Keyboard Dictionary
A Workstation Element (WSE) is simply a large general component of an IBM workstation, professional-grade personal computer, or terminal. These can be basic components one might associate as being a part of a typical computer such as monitors, tower or desktop PC units, keyboards and mice, and non-consumer computer/terminal components such as logic bases and light pens. For example, an IBM Display Station may have a "video WSE" (ie, a monitor), a "logic WSE", and a "keyboard WSE". Some IBM keyboards such as 31XX-75 and 31XX-87 type Model F keyboards can have stickers referring to themselves as a "KEYBOARD WSE".
