Most terminal manufacturers made them at one time. Wyse made dozens of models that had very good emulation, and several are still produced (Wyse 55, among others). Used ones are common out west. And you never know what you'll find if you look long enough. A few months ago (due to space limitations and lack of need) I passed up a "mint in box" DEC VT-100 at a thrift store; it still had it's original styrofoam packing. So keep looking! Cheers, Mark.

They're pretty common in back corners of old labs. The difficult part is finding the VT180 kit. --Bill -- bpechter(a)monmouth.com | FreeBSD since 1.0.2, Linux since 0.99.10 | Unix Sys Admin since Sys V/BSD 4.2 | Windows System Administration: "Magical Misery Tour"
