This: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252820125010 looks like it might be an -11/70 backplane, but I'm too lazy to look up the part number. Noel

I've ordered an FDADAP board and also an FDDC power converter. http://www.dbit.com/fddc.html http://www.dbit.com/fdadap.html Now I just has to wait a week or two for them to arrive! Terry (Tez)

Any faithful VT100 Emulators?

by barythrin＠gmail.com

This had kept the prices on that model a bit higher. The serial port while smaller is easy to hack a cable for most connections you need. I guess it's not that way for the other models? I hear it very often for the lx-200 pretty exclusively. -------- Original message --------From: Robert Feldman via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Date: 3/23/17 11:20 AM (GMT-06:00) To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Any faithful VT100 Emulators?

Z-8000 something on eBay

by seefriek＠gmail.com

I don't have any idea what this is but it appears to have Z-8000 CPU+MMU chips. Perhaps an Onyx or S8000 CPU card? I know some folks here are in to that sort of thing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Vintage-DSC-MP-4-EPC-Rev-D-K-Expansion-Board-Ca… KJ

For any other platforms? xterm never gives me any problems. But the default terminal emulators of Gnome or KDE have some issues in my experience. xterm is always buried in the system somewhere though, and it works. I use it e.g. for accessing my old minicomputer which has a VT100 setting.

Any faithful VT100 Emulators?

Ethan wrote... ----- I'm following this thread because I too want a decent terminal emulator that works with a variety of vintage text editors (that seems to be the torture test) but for Linux or OS X. Putty seems to be a repeat suggestion but it's not for my platforms. ------ The most faithful vt100 emulation I've seen myself (not that I've done a big study or anything) is SecureCRT from Van Dyke. It is a commercial product, but about the only commercial product I've decided is worth the cost. I use it daily and pay for upgrades and new releases gladly. I do know that they came out with a version for OSX a while back. I expect that to be robust. There is a version for Linux, never tried that as I'm a FreeBSD zealot. There is also an iphone/ipad app by secureCRT and I've used it in a few pinches but never on a classic system. And the company has actually heard of VMS ;) Their support is off-the-charts. On more than one occasion I've emailed them asking for this or that... and several times I've seen it implemented on the next release. They actively listen and implement. If the linux and OSX and app versions are as good as the windows one... it's worth a shot. J

Any faithful VT100 Emulators?

by wkt＠tuhs.org

OK, so I don't have a real VT100, so I'm accessing an old 4.3BSD system with xterm and LXTerminal terminal emulators on Linux. Last night, for a laugh, I ran vttest from the 1980s and the terminal emulators performed woefully. Which raises the question, are there any _good_ VT100 terminal emulators, especially for Linux? For any other platforms? Cheers, Warren
