I have a Wyse WY-150 that I use as a console for several machines, and it has an odd and
irritating behavior on some machines.
For SGIs and DECs the text gets messed up. O300 will get garbled, but my suspicion there
is that the terminal doesn't really handle 38,400bps right.
On all SGIs and DECs there are spacing issues, though - Example: in SGI startup diags and
PROM whether I'm in 80 or 132-column mode there will be
one letter on the far right and then it wraps around. I'm in VT220 mode, and it does
it in both 7-bit and 8-bit. I didn't notice this on my old Altos III-branded
Wyse. Anyone fixed this?
