Between scopes and terminals I have:
P31 blue, ? amber, P1 green and two differnt whites
(vt100 and Vt320 paperwhite).
P1 is the common medium green of older scopes and terminals
P3 and P39 are either amber or white range, I forget
P7 short blue/long yellow (used mostly for scopes and slowscan)
P11 is blue (more toward the medium persistance)
P31 The common scope tubes early 90s (blueish white medium)
This is all very useful information to a collector of old
scopes, terminals and VDUs!
There are others but, the codes to them are long
forgotten.
But surely there's a standards document somewhere that
describes these phoshpors? Chemical composition, colour,
persistence data, that kind of thing? Does anybody have
any idea where I might start looking for that standard (I
may be able to find it in the library here)?
Probably worth putting together a summary for the WWW, if I
can find the standard. No Java, Flash, JavaScript, ActiveX
or MIDI files -- promise! :-)
