The LA120 was the de facto console terminal for the VAX-11/78*s. One reason
why I have three; albeit, one has been cannibalized for parts.
Also standard on PDP-11s as well as DECsystem-10 and DECsystem-20
machines...
Update have at least three... (Or had, last I looked. Two with 20mA
and one with RS-232.)
We have at least two now, perhaps three.
I'd like a LA36, mostly for the looks.

Not sure it'll be the same since the last update in 1994!

I'd love a daisy wheel! Are there any which will hook up to a vax 4000? Though I remember collecting my printouts from the sysop in 1st year 1991 and you could hear the line printers grinding away. Need 230 (ish) volts too.
Basically size doesnt matter, as I will have to pay for a pallet, regardless of whats on it.

The sound is not to be underestimated. Personally I like fast daisywheels for that railgun effect...

I thought you and I were only discussing some X.25 experimentation.
If you want a full-on HECnet connection via GRE, Brian Hechinger can
stick your info in his database, and tunnel configurations will be
automatically generated for all of us on his next run.

I take it HECnet peers are lacking in the U.S.?
I guess I should put my Python router up permanently...

The DHV11 has a pair of 8051s on it. The DH11 is several boards full
of logic. It has buffering and DMA capability to offload the host
system...it needs much less hand-holding than the DZ11.
For *output*. They're all basically identical for input, and that's where
you'd actually need help (since you could lose data -- on output you just
might get behind). Offloading input processing would need the mux to be
close personal friends with the TTY driver in each OS, so I see why it
didn't happen, but it would have been *much* more useful.
I partly beg to disagree. Any normal usage would typically see at least ten times as much output as input. Input essentially means a user hammering away at a keyboard.
Offloading output makes a *huge* difference.
But sure, if you could offload input as well, noone would complain. But yes, that has a lot of additional headaches, since OSes tends to want to handle some characters special...

Hello!
We are drifting very far afield now with this one. Originally the
poster was complaining about being able to find proper printer for
himself......

The LT33. Um, which is an ASR33 -- not even rebadged (they just added
an additional DEC sticker to the back IIRC).
There's also the reader-run modification..
Was that an actual feature added...or just another sticker? ;)
