This is a long shot -- anyone have a spare "STP Connector Card" for a
VT103? This is a small paddle board that plugs into the main VT100
circuit board (on the J3 slot). Basically it re-routes the external
serial port internally in order to allow it to connect to the VT-103's
internal PDP-11.
It's a completely passive device and I have the schematic, PCB layout,
and pinouts so it's not looking like it would be too difficult to just
build one, but I figured I'd ask before I went through the effort.
(And for those interested, I'm finally doing something fun with the
VT-103 I got a few years ago. I've upgraded the backplane to 22 bits,
and I've installed a QED 993 board (a 3rd-party 11/93 clone with 4mb
memory onboard). Now I just need to work out the SLU connections for
the terminal itself (hence the STP connector) and work out some
storage... maybe I'll just borrow the SCSI card from my MicroVAX...)
Thanks as always,
Josh
