Mistake on my behalf. Was working on it last night and it's actually the
earlier model, the Visual 200.
After some basic repairs to the power supply section, I now have a
flashing "ON" light on the keyboard which I believe is an error code
I know it exists out in the wild somewhere, but I
can't find a copy
myself. It's for a VT100 clone terminal called the Visual 100 - from around
1982.
from the self test (taking queues from the Visual 100
manual).
CPU removed - "ON" light stays lit
CPU installed - cold start - 3 beeps, then ON light flashes
CPU installed - less than 5 minutes since last power up - ON light
flashes, no beeps
Messing with the Mask ROM in it's socket also created a few scenarios
with lots of fast beeps, and the CAPS LOCK key staying lit, but I
reseated it and the system returned to the above situation.
CRT section doesn't appear to start up, but didn't blow up either, so
that's a plus. Have not had a chance to go over it with a scope yet.
So if anyone has...
- parts list
- user guide
- circuit diagram
- a spare logic board laying around
- or remembers anything about these terminals
Please let me know!
Cheers,
