called, I think, a "VT640" or something similar. It
wasn't a DEC product. I had one a very long time ago (late 1980s I
think) and it was dead. I don't know where it ended up.
It was partly a DEC product :-). The chassis,case, keyboard PSU, bideo
board and logic board were all stock DEC parts. There was a paddleboard
(non-DEC) in that bridging edge connector that intercepts the lines to
the RS232 conenctor. And another board full of chips (including IIRC a
Z80) to do the graphics.
I assumed from the name that this board could be retro-fitted into a
stock VT100.
I have a VT100 with a Selenar Graphics 100 board, but I'm still lacking a
manual (especially a serivce manual).
