Hi,
Cleaning my vt-240, I noticed that there is an "expansion" connector
inside, with enough space for a pretty big board.
Anybody out there has an idea what it was for ?
Documentation ?
cheers

My VT100 has what seems to be an add-in board that has RGB BNCs. I know
so little about them that I don't even know whether those are intended to
be input or output.

That is a great resource. Unfortunately, it does not appear to have any
mention of the expansion board, nor even of the tilt/swivel base that mine
has.

It sounds as if you've got a VT100 with the VT1XX-CB graphics kit, which
converts it to full VT125 capability, including composite and RGB video

I've never seen this! These factoids are from Chapter 5 of the Terminals
& Printers Handbook 1983:
http://vt100.net/docs/tp83/chapter5.html
Unfortunately, the second edition of the VT100 Technical Manual doesn't
cover the VT125, because it wasn't available until a year later. I think
the only VT125-specific manual I have is the Reference Card, but you can
try playing with ReGIS by using the VT240 Series Programmer Pocket
Guide, or the VT330 Graphics Programming manual.
I have just been sent the original DEC technical report on ReGIS, which
I'm very excited about. I'll put it online as soon as possible.
As for Emanuel's question about the VT240 expansion capability, I have
no idea, but I'm certainly going to have a dig around inside mine this
weekend!

It is a modem card. There is a picture of it in the vt240 pocket service
guide.
