Its a Visual 500 terminal, and its significant
because
a) in two years of monitoring ebay I haven't seen any other
Visual Technology terminals offered
b) it has graphics capability (Tektronix 4010 emulation)
I used to have a Visual terminal on my desk, complete with Tek 4010
emulation. I thought it was rather unremarkable - I didn't like it.
I had no idea they were sought after. Bummer yours got ship(ping)wrecked.
Who was the carrier? I had my first HP 264x term arrive like that... very
busted up.
If we're not talking about retro appeal or collectability - but just a 'use
it for work day in and day out' terminal, my favorite was the wyse-30,
amber.
