Subject: VT420, burned
Is it possible to use one of these VT420 to test a
LK401 keyboard,
without
anything or anything too special connected to it?
Yes, no problem. Make a loopback connector, pin 2 to pin 3 on a db25.
OR In terminal setup (F3) Under communications setup, set local echo on.
Either way whatever you type will be displayed.
Picture tubes can be replaced, so hang on to the VT420's!
