If it uses the answerback facility to do the query, you can probably get

are able to set this string to match what a true vt100 would produce.
Also, don't discount the power of an old PC, or even a new PC running
e.g. Linux to communicate in the desired way.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? */
If the OS is ultrix yes, VMS no. If the case is
BA23 drve ready switches
should be off before turning on and off before turning off. I'd say don't
power it till you have a terminal anyhow as VAXen look for a console
terminal or they don't finish power diags or boot! It also queries the
terminal for what It is, the altos unless a vt100 clone will nto give the
right response (no biggie but there is some console editing that will not
happen then).
I'll keep an eye out for a VT-100 or such then....it doesnt look likely
I'll find a keyboard for the Altos anyhow. I think I've seen VT-100's for
about $50 on the newsgroups.
