Maybe a Plessey terminal? I had two which looked just
like a
VT100 from
the outside, but had different (Plessey-made) logic inside, and
incompatible keyboards.
Possibly -- I don't remember the branding right off. The problem, though, is that
this is the only vt100-looking keyboard they have. :/ So if it's not the right one,
(my current assumption until I figure out something else), then I'm at a loss as to
where to find one.
I vaguely remember something like a flashing
"4" in the top
corner of my
VT131 if the keyboard wasn't connected. Maybe not exactly that, but
something of the sort.
Mine does that too -- the same flashing 4 I get when the keyboard _is_ plugged in. :)
