The VT240 is a nice terminal. Good score!
I think so too. I am suprised there wasn't more interest in it. It
actually appeared on E-bay last week, but I didn't bit becuase I
couldn't
be sure of being able to meet the seller's deadlines for payment, etc.
Nobody bid, so it was relisted with a lower starting bid. Nobody
else bid
this time either, so I got it for about \pounds 5.00.
I think the reason for the lack of interest is that there are so
many of them out there. I've managed to wind up with about eight of
them in my closet and I don't even know where they all came from.
I'm quite happy to dedicate some closet space to them, though, as
spares for the one on my desk!
ones in the 'bow. Pletny of RAM and ROM, and some
glue logic. And
another
40 pin chip, DC310. For some reason this is saying 'processor' to
me. Is
it?
DC310 is the part number for the T11, isn't it?
Indeed it is, as others have confirmed. I half-thought it was, and
then
thought that nobody would use a PDP11 CPU in a terminal ;-)
