Anyone out there have one of these? I have one of each, but one is
broken and has an incomplete set of ROMs (which appear to be one of
the early versions -- maybe 1.0!). I do have a complete set of version
8.2 ROMs, dated 1985.
Someone posted photos of a 4107A a while ago at
http://picasaweb.google.com/glen.slick/Tektronix4107A#5300179266366767714
.
The 4109A we have is fully intact, but the 4107A has front panel
damage. Also, we're not sure whether or not we have keyboards and
mice.
Any information, including owner's and service manuals, would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi David,
Eiter I or Ed may be able to help - I know I have a few 4000 series manuals.
Ed runs VintageTek, a Tektronix museum here in Beaverton:
vintagetek.org
We are meeting Thursday for the bi-weekly run at the Tek Surplus store, I ask to see what
he has available.

I gave away the Tektronix terminals in those photos to someone local
not long after I posted those photos. I had a couple of user manuals
to go along with them but no service manuals.

I'm using this right now with PuTTY and it looks great. You'll need to
directly enter "15" as the font size as the drop-down doesn't have that
point choice.

Thanks Gene - I'm using it right now. And the referenced site includes
some discussion of the process and tools used, so it might be of help in
making other classiccmp fonts available.

And that "someone" would be me. :-) I have a user manual for these but no
service manual. The programmer reference manual is on Bitsavers. What else do you want
to know? -- Ian

ROM dumps (since you have a much newer ROM than mine), as well as a
scan of any manuals, would be awesome. I'm not only trying to fix it
up, but add support for these to MESS. :)
These are standard 27C256 32kb ROMs, which most any programmer should
be able to dump.
manualsplus.com has the service manual but right now I am not able to
purchase it -- search for Tektronix 4107 if interested.
The markings on the charset ROM (this is inside the terminal, on the
side board) would be useful, but I'm quite sure it's the same Version
1.0 that we have.
Unfortunately we're missing the keyboard (well, it might be
*somewhere* but who knows), and this may also have components needed
for proper functionality or emulation.
Thanks very much!

Keyboards show up on ebay once in a while. I believe the keyboards
are the same as the 4105. Make sure the keyboard has the round
connector and not the square one. The square connectors are for the
4205's.
