IIRC, it installed easily w/o needing special drivers. For the most part it worked as advertised. We didn't really need Regis graphics so we never tested that out. It's problem was that it was really

on PCs, much slower than a real VT240 terminal. We were trying to use

"all in one" office automation to do word processing and spreadsheets.

slowness caused us to abandon it and just use word perfect and lotus 123 instead. FYI, There are reflection manuals on the wayback machine for reference. Wayne <cctech at classiccmp.org> wrote: > > Right, according to the few notes I've seen on the packages currently

versions I see for sale are for Win3.1 and such, not exactly the heyday of

and play. I was hoping to get some guidance from someone who has used the Reflection software on what the actual hardware/software requirements are. quality (see github). It is the DEC graphics terminals that no one has produced an open source emulation software for, so that's why I am asking this question. <cctech at classiccmp.org <mailto:cctech at classiccmp.org>> wrote: >> >> Does anyone have experience with the Reflection software that will >> emulate a DEC VT340 color graphics terminal? >
