Main board done as well. Apparently, this had a "soft-drink incident" in the past and needed some cleaning with IPA.

The parallel port card (printer) for the #WYSE 60 #Terminal, which was apparently an add-on card and not integrated into the main board.

First case parts of the #WYSE 60 #Terminal are cleaned. This thing is built like a tank.

Somehow working on the #Amiga 2000 prevented me from actually start inspecting and cleaning the #terminal as originally planned. So this is going to happen today, finally. 🥳

@passthejoe @frobozz @JdeBP @gumnos

I dunno, I have a vague impression of the #WYSE terminals being "weird," but it's been a quarter century.

Some of the later DEC VTs were dinky, but that #VT100 was LEGEND-STATUS classic. 😄

I literally remember seeing them in pictures and wondering "What is that groovy curved-looking computer??" and only years later learning that that was the ORIGINAL VT100.

I'd lose my mind to be able to play with one of those sweet machines.

Finished cleaning the #WYSE 60 #Terminal keyboard. It's heavily yellowed and has two cigarette burn marks, but that's fine. It's 39 years old after all.

Next is cleaning the terminal itself.

@thatKomputerKat Correct. It's a nice #WYSE 60 serial terminal. Needs a very good clean, however...

@occult Bloody hell, I loved those #Wyse terminals. I'd love to get my hands on one now. Obviously we won't be needing keyboards in 2029, but those were nice too.

Yesterday I spend a day trying to hack this WYSE WT3235LE terminal.

It has a cool GEODE GX1 CPU!

I was able to push some binary to the system. One version even did a beep via pc speaker!

There is so little information on the internet about it that it is a lot of try-and-error.

Will be back to this in the future.

I am running a #Snowflake proxy "farm" at home on 3 older #Wyse Terminals running #Ubuntu Server Minimized. #TorProject

So I am running a #Tor "farm" at home. It had consisted of 2 older #Wyse Terminals running #Ubuntu Server Minimized. One server was a #obfs4 bridge and the other was a #Snowflake proxy server.

I decided to port these machines to VMs running Ubuntu 24.04 & ran into some issues. On a whim, I decided to spin up a #Debian VM for the #obfs4 bridge last night, fully expecting to wake up to an issue this morning. I was wrong. The bridge is online & appears to be working. It was always a fight with Ubuntu, not the case with Debian.

So I spun up another Debian VM for the Snowflake proxy & it now also online and working 100%.

All hail Debian???

#Ireland-based #RetroComputing and #VintageComputing folks might be interested in a stash of #IBM, #DEC, #Wyse and other #mainframe and #minicomputer #GreenScreen #terminals, most dating from the 1980s and 1990s (without keyboards, unfortunately), as well as copious sealed #Windows95 CDs ("with USB support"), sealed 3½ inch #FloppyDisks, sealed and unsealed memory modules in the tens of megabytes range, sealed IBM branded PS/2 ball mice, vintage toner cartridges and ink ribbons. There's a single #Amstrad monitor for use with the #CPC454, an intriguing #Apricot-branded machine and some VGA-era monitors. Many of them will need work. There's a functioning #Windows98 machine.

The stash is located in a shed in the village of Rathdowney. You can contact the seller via adverts to arrange to see it: https://touch.adverts.ie/monitors/vintage-monitors-mobile-phones-etc/33899224

The seller is prepared to power on devices for you. I left with only a few handfuls of floppies as I already have more DEC terminals than I need.
