The VT420 came in three types B&W, Green, and
Amber, personally my favorite
is the Amber, but I think I've got at least one of each type. I've got two
I use all the time, one is the console on my two main servers, the other is
plugged into two ports of a DECserver. If I had the desktop space, I'd
probably have at least a couple more plugged into the decserver.
I really like the VT420, and my VT525 is nice, too, but for
my emergency console I've got an LT320 plugged in to my
DECserver 90M. The LT320 is nice and small, and I've got the
table-mounted extension arm so it is out of the way.
The LT320 is a third-party plasma terminal. There are MMJ and
DB25 serial connectors, and LK201/401-compatible and AT-compatible
keyboard connectors. I use an LK401 with mine.

Jerome Fine replies:
I presume the LK201 and the LK401 are plug compatible?
Also, what are the actual differences and why do you prefer
the LK401?
Sincerely yours,

The LK201 and LK401 are compatible in every way. The LK201 is as flat as
a board, and achieved a dubious distinction when it was involved in a
repetitive-strain injury lawsuit. The LK401 is the ergonomic variety.
However, the keys are a little different between the two, and a lot of
people prefer the key feel from the original LK201. I prefer the LK401,
myself. Actually, my favorite are the IBM buckling-spring "clickety"
models. Especially the 3278 terminal keyboards.
