I like the VT5xx series, just as I like all other
VT-terminals. However,
I've had problems with power supplies of VT320, and VT340 terminals, and
have had problems with the displays going weak on VT420 terminals.
I don't like the VT5xx series (but don't dislike them enough to get rid of mine),
because of their changed admin interface vs. the really nice ones of the previous DEC
terminals.

How well would a VT525 work with a MicroVAX 3100 series model 80? The local scrapper has
about 8 of that model terminal and a pile of DEC keyboards (mostly ps2 type ends, a couple
with what looks like a 4 pin mini phone jack). The guy in charge at the time needed to
talk to the owner about price (meaning he will try to ream me on one after he looks it up
on ebay). I did get 2 sets of MJJ cables (one ends in what looks like a 9 pin serial port
adapter, the other looks like it ends in a ethernet cable adapter) and 2 DEC terminal
keyboards (ps2 end). I guess I can rig up a laptop to be a terminal with the cables I
have, or hope he lets the VT525's go cheap (what is a fair price for one anyway?).
VT525s will be fine on a VAX.
