Ok Dittmann got away with it for about half the usual
price.
I hope he lives in a cold state as these things generate a heck of a lot
of heat!
At work we've got a load of 3290 displays so I'm pretty
familiar with the amount of heat one of those screens
puts out (similar technology).
But they are the geekiest screens I have ever owned.
And theres a big
real estate to cover in mono! Real gorgeous and an attention getter
every time. I was told these thingys cost 20 k when new ....in 91! I
wonder who other than the INS bought them. There were quite a few made
and there are still plenty around.
I don't see these come up too often. Likewise with an
ELT320. I has high bidder on one on eBay, but didn't
meet the reserve. I asked the seller if he'd sell it
anyway, but another bidder asked him before I did (and
I asked within a half hour of the end) and the seller
sold to him instead. :-(
I hope we can get a group together to make them work
on X!
I'm going to use mine with DEC equipment.
