Interesting. I was in the library today, and I happened to glance
on the back of a VT-220 they had. I thought it was video, because of
the icon, but then I said to my friend, "Cool! It can do ethernet!"
of collisions and other strange things. Looked like one
of the
computers
on it had gone crazy and was jabbering, but turning off
one machine at
a
time didn't help things.
OK, time to grab a 'scope. What on earth was that? It looks like
composite video. It _is_ composite video. OK, time to trace the cable.
You guessed it. Some luser had plugged a spare t-piece on the thinwire
segment onto the back of a VT220.
I can't remember what LART I used ;-)
