[HECnet] VT-62?

Hello! I certainly hope so. I don't like VT-52s much. The later terminals sure, but that model........ Where did you read that blurb about a PDP-11 OS (RT-11?) doing graphics on a 62? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

I say we try to build something funky for it - I'm game if there's any documentation on its protocols.. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932 On 28 Sep 2013, at 02:36, Bob Armstrong <bob at jfcl.com> wrote: What can be done (non-destructive suggestions only, please) with a VT-62? This is NOT a VT52 (although it looks like one). The VT62 is a block mode terminal that, I think, actually speaks DDCMP. AFAIK it's incapable of being a plain ASCII terminal unless there's some hack I'm unaware of. Right now the only thing I can think of is to part it out as spares for my VT52. I have two of the latter and it looks like at least some of the major assemblies - CRT, keyboard, power supply - are identical. I hate to do that, though, if there's a better use for it. --- Bob
