The recent discussion of VXT2000 reminded me of X/PEX terminals.
I'm looking for X Window System terminals, particularly early NCD
Do you know anythign about a unit called a Princeton Ultra-X?
It's a pizza-box sized unit. It conencts toa VGA monitor (DE15 socket), I
think it uses plain VGA rates only. The keyboard interface is a 5 pi nDI
Nsocket, same low-level spec as a PC/AT keyboard, but from what I
rememebr, the scan codes are different. There's a DE9 connector for a
serial mouse (I seem to remember a setup option for Logitec or Microsoft).
Inside a 4 PCBs, oen of which is the PSU. The I/O board (ethernet,
keybaord interface, mouse interface, etc) uses an 80188 prorcessor. The
video board has a TMS34010 video processor, the X server runs on that.
There's a fair amount of video RAM and a RAMDAC on thsi board, and not
much else. There's a duaghterboard full of ROMs that contain the X server
and the fonts.
I only have the base unit. And while I suspect I could obtain a suitable
monitor and mouse, finding a keyboard is more of a problem. One day I'll
reporgram the 8048 in a normal PC clone keyboard to work, or something...
