#wyse — Public Fediverse posts

#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.

[edit: 3¼ to 3½]

Finally finished the last piece of the hardware flow control puzzle for my Wyse Wy-55. It now supports full 115200 baud, which makes it possible to experience the Fedi Fire Hose.

@dpflug @ajroach42 @beto As the original author of #OfflineIMAP, it's always fun to see it mentioned. I'm no longer an active developer on the project, but I still use it for all my mail.

Speaking of which, my other suggestions are #Emacs and #mu4e. #screen also; it's one of the few things that works well with the XON/XOFF that some real vt220 and such require. I do own a #Wyse WY55, #DEC vt220, vt420, and vt510 and periodically work from them. Amazing focus mode.

Hi #hivemind, has anyone got the #Wyse WY-120 #serial #terminal to work correctly on #Linux with any #terminfo entries? Specifically, it has trouble with backspace/delete, arrow keys and general #curses page layout. #Halp?

PS: I've seen @veronicaexplains's wonderful video on the WY-55 but this one unforunately seems to have different behaviour.

@Swimming I seem to be the only one that has no idea what you were up to before, so maybe someone can clue me in. But, #CRT ? What kind? I seem to have started a collection of #DEC #serial #terminals - I've got a #vt510, some #vt420 units, and a #Wyse even.
