Hi folks,
I went to the Rochester Hamfest on 5 June. Amongst other radio and computer
items I dragged home were two VXT2000 boxes. No displays or keyboards, just
the pizza boxes. The guy literally gave them to me when I was at his
fleamarket space as he was starting to packup and go home just because I
was studying them intently (I never saw one before).
That'll learn me not to stare so dang long at somethin' an' get nabbed by
the owner! My wife was there too. She just rolled her eyes after the
'transaction'. At least she carried the NOS P54 motherboard and parts we
found for my stepson's computer upgrade plus some radio parts and manuals
after I got handed the VXT's.
These I understand are X-terminals but I know nothing else about them.
Searching the usual places for useful info only told me they were X-terms.
Could anybody provide more info to a curious mind as to what the hardware
details are, their typical usage, any other details, etc.? Specific model
numbers are VX20A-AA and VX20A-BC. I see the -AA has color video output and
the -BC is monochrome. Seem to be the only hardware diffs.
Will the good old LK201 keyboard work with these? What about the mono
video: will the VT240 mono monitor work with the -BC?
Kinda classy-lookin' hardware inside. Useful for anything (seriously)?
Off-list please as these are really less than 10 years old.
Thanks in advance for your usual good info!
Regards, Chris
