Do the collectors of VT100/VT220-type terminals collect mostly DEC
equipment? I seem to recall that the Televideo 922 and the Tab (I'd
have to look for a model number) were very decent terminals and may
have had good VT52 emulation. When I worked with a VAX 11/750 back
in the 1980's, I recall that the sales guy (not DEC, but an
independent) preferred a non-DEC terminal with a nice 14" display.
VT100/220 type terminals were pretty big business back then and many
manufacturers made them. AFAIK, they all developed their own code.
