Back in the day, the Z29 was probably the last discrete terminal I used on a daily basis.
It
was connected to a VAX11/750 running BSD Unix (which I administrated for the Physics
department
at Purdue University). The one I used had orange/amber phosphor and in my opinion, out of
all
of the terminals I used over the years, was the best terminal that I ever used, period.

Well, I just acquired some VT100's, albiet without
keyboards. So, now I'm looking for some VT100 keyboards - even broken or damaged
ones.
Also, I _just_ missed a Zenith Z29 terminal (newer than the Z19, with detachable
keyboard), on eBay, simply because I forgot to bid before I left the house. Augh! So,
I'm looking for one of those too - does anyone have one that is looking for a home?
Also, while I'm looking for stuff, anyone have a Qbus Pertec tape drive controller
that'll work in a Vax?
Thanks guys!
