I have pretty much all of the DEC

you think it'd be a good idea for me to, over time, pull them out and
read their ROMs for archival or reconstructive purposes?
I think that would be a good idea -- not just for emulations but to make
it possible to repair any terminals that suffer from bit rot in future.
I've been doing that for years (decades, actually!), and I have some
of the VT100 ROMs on my website at
http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/DECROMs/ (read the file ROMlist
to see which they are). I'd be happy to host images not already there.
See particularly the "Wanted!" list in that directory :-)
