Looking at the documents on the web it looks like the AE is a straight
forward VT100 terminal, the PT was the 3270 version.
If it is an AE it should work with any Unix/Linux/PDP/VAX etc. etc. out of
the box.
I think that the PT was a version which included a 386SX processor and the
AE is a pure terminal. http://bit.ly/1UrQL8Z
My guess is that the firmware is the difference between the one I have and
the the VT100 version. Possibly the modem board as well.
It is not possible to configure it to do anything like bi-sync. There is a
setting to configure NRZI or NRZ line coding, nothing else.
Let's hope there is someone out there that could dump the EPROMs. I hope to
get a response from the guy which shows a VT100 Informer 213 on Youtube. It
would be nice to actually use it. Attaching it to something IBMish using
VTAM seems unlikely.
