Jesus, I just traded a Perq1 keyboard to a guy for a $100 donation to a food bank of his
choice. What is it with keyboards lately?
That?s a really good question. Are they being used for emulators? If so, I can sort of
understand this.
The reason I have a DEC VT420 sitting next to my desk is so that I can have the
appropriate keyboard, when I need it. It uses LAT to talk to PDP-10, PDP-11, VAX, and
Alpha systems (mostly emulated these days).
I?ve been seriously considering a Honeywell terminal, for accessing my Multics system (I
have used the VT420).
