I can probably help with that. I'm in Ohio and I get out to Chicago
and NJ a couple of times a year. I have a cabinet of CiTOH terminals
I bought from my employer "some years ago". ;-) We used an
assortment of DEC VT10x, VT220, CiTOH 101 and CiTOH 101e terminals.
ISTR the CiTOHs were as much as $800 cheaper than DEC terminals at the
time. They were robust and at one point, I pulled out of the manuals
the magic escape sequence to "switch sessions" and use the local
printer port as a second comms line (we just had to bang out a custom
DB25 adapter since the entire company was standardized on Nevada
Western 6p6c modular serial and we didn't have a box of the right
adapters for the printer port). It was awesome having two live lines
in front of our usual switchbox setup for connecting to multiple
hosts.
... knew one of the developers
Neat!
F/W was done in the US I can no longer remember the
key combination but the
terminal would let you know who did it
That would be fun to look up.
Anyone wants to gain a cubic foot or two let me know
You got it!
