  1. Cleaning up an old TeleVideo terminal. Overall works well! I cleaned it up shortly after this pic and came out really nicely.

    Tested of course with an @rc2014 board and a PS/2 keyboard 🙂

    Picking up an IBM 3151 in a week or so that I ordered as well...

  2. DEC VT220

    We not only have our beloved DEC VT220, we also have its documentation. And ESC # 8 will fill your screen with E's to test the displays screen alignment.

  3. I got myself a lovely terminal today ...

    Esprit Opus 3n1 :).

    Unfortunately the user manual seems to be unobtanium - or can someone maybe help out?

  4. 😀⌨️ We're thrilled whenever we receive a piece of Slovenian computer heritage that we don't yet have! This is the keyboard for the Iskra Delta PAKA 5000 terminal. Designed in the industrial style of the Triglav computer by Vid Brataševec, it is functionally a copy of the LK201 keyboard for the DEC VT220 terminal.

  6. @anelki terminal emulators with colors now, but amber on a vt220 forever.

  7. @larsbrinkhoff github.com/larsbrinkhoff/sixel says "This has been tested on a real VT220", but has it been tested on an emulated ? I can't find an emulator that supports VT220-style sixels, and I'd love to be able hack on programs targeting the VT220 when I'm away from my desk.

  8. on my ... at about 0.6 FPS... gotta try to optimize the screen update code.

  9. "You're all so young! Why, I bet some of you have never even used a serial connected terminal!" #VT220

  10. First toot from a #DEC #VT220! (Pic hopefully to follow.)

    It's my one piece for #retrocomputing... a tempermental beast.

  11. My favorite #vt220 like device for hacking and #retrocomputing is the Random Corporation's Colleague. The (heh) Random Colleague was built when people had the need for mobile access to computing but you were really just dialing into a more powerful computer. It has a word processor that saves to volatile memory because you're just going to transfer it to the real computer later. It has a built in modem that'll do up to 1200 baud (bell212a) and supports serial up to 19.2k. Battery is leadacid.

  12. Someone posted this yesterday (I think) but I can't find it now..

    I wrote a fontforge script that stretches out the glyphs to their original visual size: gist.github.com/epilys/9586977

  13. Happy day! I've found and scored an old #VT220 (compatible) serial terminal for my #SVR4 #retrocomputing project.

    We're about to move offices and a bunch of cool stuff just appeared in a "dispose of this" pile. There's an old Sun machine in there too that I might have to save from the crusher. :awesome:
