I share your fondness for that particular terminal. I'm not sure what
it is about the Wyse 85 but I just love them. My last one died a few
years ago and my Wyse 60 just isn't up to snuff. Considering how many
were made/sold, it's odd that they're so hard to find.
I find the Wyse 50 on Ebay all the time, frequently newly refurbished.
Do you still have the dead 85? Since the 50 is externally identical to
the 85, do you think it would be possible to turn a 50 into an 85 with
some rom swapping?
Whoops. They're not identical. I've unearthed a Wyse 99gt with bad
screenburn and nasty case discoloration. Seems close enough for my
purposes.
