I'm collecting together all the X terminal software (servers, configuration
files, manuals, etc). I have this old snapshot of the FTP site for
ncd.com:
<http://computergraphicsmuseum.org/mirror/ftp.ncd.com/>
I'm looking for more. I don't have the X terminal software for X
terminals from:
- DEC
- HP
- Tektronix
If anyone can help me collect this together into one place, that would
be great.

I have an HDS X term that I got working a long time ago with software
I found on an open FTP server at MIT. I'll check the model number and
see what ancient hard drive contains my copy of the software (probably
my old SPARC5 that hasn't been powered on in about 6 years).

Great!
I have a list of these HDS terminals to add to the terminals wiki:
HDS Viewstation TR
HDS Viewstation FX
HDS Viewstation FX
HDS ViewStation FX
HDS ViewStation+
HDS ViewStation
HDS 2200GX
These are already on the wiki:
<http://terminals.classiccmp.org/wiki/index.php/Category:HDS>
But none of those are X Terminals.

I think I have either a ViewStation or ViewStation+
Sadly, there was at one point a publicly-accessible repository (as
indexed by several FTP search engines) at ftp//ftp.psc.edu/tftp/hds/,
but that appears to be gone now.
Anyone get a mirror of that when it was up?

Yeah, that's why I'm collecting this in one place.
It seems like X terminals would still be usable these days and unlike
a PC they often have no noisy fan.

Yeah, that's why I'm collecting this in one place. from one of the index sites. That list would at least
be handy to see
if anything is missing/different from any version that eventually
turns up (including the repo I probably still have).

I remember playing with my HDS Viewstation as a terminal to my SPARC5
when I used that every day at home (quite some time ago) and I do
remember that not everything I ran worked perfectly (Netscape gave me
some fits, IIRC). It was fine for opening up scads of Xterms, but I
think I occasionally ran into an application that was newer than the
version of X on the HDS and something wasn't quite right (possibly
related to available fonts, now that I'm thinking about it).
Something I'd like to try now is HDS + LCD (since it was definitely
HDS + CRT last time).

Try The Wayback Machine, maybe? It has saved my butt a few times.

Sweet! If you could email me a URL where I could pick them up, that
would be great. Alternatively, I can provide an ftp dropoff area,
assuming my XMission account has enough space.
We can also do snail mail.

That's what I used to get my VXT2000 running.
