Wyse PCs (was Re: auction grabs)

I sincerely meant it. At that time around 4 years ago, I happen to have the oddball 16" mono wyse monitor and the that thing but between 2 no video card to drive that thing. That monitor can be driven up to incrediable high resolution better than 1024x768. Did call Wyse tech support, yuk! Took me a while to find out the cost to get that card cost too much for that value I think 100US. Not long afterwards, machine was gone to a user who needs one with standard monitor + card and 3 years later, that cursed monitor thrown out because I couldn't find the card for it. Oh, that wyse 286 is pretty stock clone and phoenix bios setup.exe on a disk for setting up CMOS contents does works. Funny, I did saw exact type of wyse 286 around that time after I sold that dumb 286 thingy with dreadful monitor that had that oddball card when it was in repairs. I know because those 286 circuit boards are not that great quality as expected of for that expense compared to IBM 50Z box. Even 55SX is good deal! Oh, Those wyse terminals needs upgrade kits to keep them working reliablibly. Reminds me of those compact mac analog board upgrade kit. Both you can still can get them around 30 or so from CCS. I clearly recall seeing at least 10 wyse terminals in repairs at any given time. Horrific! Gee, they shouldn't have used wyse terminal features and stuck with standardized DEC VT programming routines because that is more common than wyse terminals usually. I mean number of standard and clones for VT terminal series compared to wyse. Jason D. email: jpero(a)cgocable.net Pero, Jason D.
