Hell, I can't even find VT100s anymore. About ten years ago you
couldn't walk down the street without tripping over VT100s.

Where can you get real VT52s nowadays? I haven't seen one on Ebay
for at
least three years. On Mar 8, 2007, at 1:55 PM, Richard wrote:
For stuff of the era, the VT-52 is a very handy terminal. I don't
recall my results with a VT100 or CiTOH-101 (clone), but I was *not*
able to use the VTEDIT macro under OS/8 with a VT220 in VT52
emulation
mode. The emulation just wasn't good enough. I suppose one could
find an open-source terminal program and ensure the VT-52 emulation
was up to snuff, but for a plug-it-in-and-get-to-work solution, for
pre-VT52 software, I recommend a real VT52. If you do and don't want the VT52, I'll
buy it :)
You're just a terminal-obsessed freak, and you know it! ;)
