I use a VT320 a lot, so when I found one in a thrift store this week for $2,
I decided to pick it up. Unfortunately, it's not in perfect health. If I
plug it in without a keyboard, I get (predictably) a "Keyboard not present"
error. If I plug it in with a keyboard attached, I get a screenful of
garbage (the same character in a recognizable pattern, but garbage
nonetheless). Bad keyboard? Wrong keyboard cable? Dead terminal? Ideas
for further testing?
Next prject: make it talk to my Linux box.
Thanks,
