I just unearthed a VT320 terminal at the very back corner of one of my store rooms. Before I go any further... should it work with a VT220 keyboard? There was no keyboard when I found it years ago, but I do have a couple of VT220 keyboards lying around. Secondly - it doesn't seem to be getting any HT output to the tube. The green LED D509 is pulsing about once every second. Is there a common failure mode for these things? I'm not too fussed about fixing it as I have a couple of VT220s that I can use as 'real' terminals anyway. If anyone wants it for spares they're welcome to it (I'm in Cambridge, UK) cheers Jules

VT320 fault - flashing LED and no HT

by TRASH3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

The LK201 keyboard is used across the 2xx, 3xx and on some of the 4xx terminals, so yes, as I remember, the vt220 keyboard will work with the vt320. Can't help with the diagnostic. I am sitting in front of a VT330 now, and I just looked at the manual for it. it says if the power indicator flashes, check the ROM cartridge on the rear has to be inserted correctly. I didn't think the VT320 had a rom cartridge, so that troubleshooting probably won't help. Joe Heck

Interesting Surplus Places In NYC?

by ohh＠drizzle.com

Hey, all: The holidays have me in New York for a week or two, and since I'm here anyway I thought it might be fun to spend some time looking around for a few odds and ends I could use at home, and perhaps some DEC items that have been on my wish-list (and, yes, that PDP-12 I'm still hoping to find somewhere! <g!>). I have, however, all the ignorance of your standard tourist. :/ Anybody have any suggestions of good surplus places in, or cozy to, the city? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As long as I'm writing to everyone anyway, I'll add: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and all that. :) -O.-

Diagnostics for HP 2114

by aek＠spies.com

Nope, none of those type disks. The disk is a 2870 (iomec 1000) (which is what I am trying to test / repair). -- I have a bunch of docs for this. Hasn't been a need to get them on line before now, so I'll move them up in the queue. DEC actually sold them in the RK8 (not RK8E) which was a whole rack of M series modules before switching to Diablo, then doing their own (RK05)

Looking for info on VT284 and VT286

by dburrows＠netpath.net

I know they are Kanji (SP?) terminals but that is all the information I have. Does anyone have a manual or more information? I am more than happy to pay for any copying costs. Thanks Dan

SIM-8

by jack.rubin＠ameritech.net

Here's a link to the SIM-8 manual at Al K's site: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/intel/8008UsersMan_Nov72.pdf I can also supply photos of the unit I have if you like, or help you ID a scan or photo. Haven't fired mine up in years - still waiting for an ASR-33 to do it right! Jack Rubin Wilmette, Illinois USA
