How do you enable VT-100 emulation with the TVI-950? Is this
possible?? I agree that the ability to stack things on top of one of
these is a good feature that's missing from a lot of terminals... ok,
it's got some tilt to it, but at least things like modems, books, etc.
and some other equiipment can be stacked on it as long as ventilation
isn't blocked off for too long when it's on.
I never quite understood the concept of computer equipment designed in
such a way that stacking things on top of it was difficult or
hazardous. Don't manufacturers realize that it's difficult to stack
things that aren't shaped for stacking, and that stackability is
helpful for saving space, which many of us are short on? The worst
offenders seem to be those new Macintoshes, in assorted
colors... those should win an award for the worst computer design of
the century; in order to make one of them useful, one would have to
build a wood frame, or somesuch, around one, which one should be able
to deduct from the purchase price.
