I don't have one, and likely never will. One got exhibited (it belongs to
Mike Ross) along with my PDP-11/70 at VCF-East last year, though.
I have several VT52s, and a couple of VT50s.

Hello!
I know. Going to do a repeat performance on your PDP-11 setup this
year? (And this presupposes we are good for the VCF.)
This year?? There's no VCF-East this year.
Next year...probably not, as I've already exhibited it. I'll pick
something else. Any suggestions?
Maybe one of the DEC-20s. Unfortunately that still leaves the issue of finding a MASSBUS drive. Perhaps we could do a low-speed WAN cluster of TOPS-20 if the older versions had those features and would run on your 202s. I'll need to go read the manual again I forget what it's called but I recall TOPS-20 having some cluster-like features...
That would be awesome, but finding a MASSBUS drive is proving difficult. :-(
Yeah. :( I'll let you know if I ever run across one. I've run across weirder.
That you have.

Hello!
There isn't? Oh <DELETED!>. Oh anything that can think for itself and
can make use of ASCII.
Hmm.
Maybe for next year I'll work out something. If I can manage to find
the room for my crazier then out beyond left field ideas.
That would be amusing. :)

Shame it's VCF I don't have anything old and interesting that's really computer related. ;)
I DO however have a cabinet phonograph from the '50s I need to fix up (You wouldn't happen to have spare wax paper capacitors, would you Dave?) The alpha isn't old enough to be interesting and the VT420 is too recent to not be overshadowed by cooler terminals. My "classic mac" gear is from the mid-'90s and isn't that exciting.
Maybe if I get VMS 1.x working in SIMH...

Ooooh. I like the PDP-11/70.
Thank you, I'm glad that you do. It's one of my favorite machines.
I have several VT52s, and a couple of VT50s.
Of all your terminals, which do you like best?
That's a tough question. For everyday use, I'd have to say a VT420. For
basking in the glory of an amazingly nice terminal, I'd say a VT240.

I can understand running SIMH on that RasPi, and in fact I was

Why the hate for the '52? ;)
What's the OS yours is running, that is with SIMH on it?
Non-up-to-date Raspbian. ;)
Hello!
The only one I saw was being used for something else ..
Was it being used as a place to sit coffee?
Ah crap, that was mine, sorry..
