Does anyone have one?
They apparently were crappy designs and tended to die fairly readily,
making them hard to find. They were manufactured in Salt Lake, but I
haven't seen one since I used them in Delaware around 1980!
I used to have one that I got from OCLC (Online Computer Library
Center?) in Dublin, OH. Unfortunately, it succumbed to a flood when I
was in college (over 15 years ago).
I remember having difficulties working with it when I was using my
PDP-8 and PDP-11 every day. I ended up picking up a cheap VT-52
($50?) as an alternative.
Everytime a Beehive thread comes around, I miss the chance to dig into
it. I have plenty of DEC terminals (VT52, VT10[0123], VT105, VT220,
VT241, VT320) but few non-DEC terminals (besides a pile of CITOH
VT102-clones).
