Another item that will be leaving my collection (mostly because I never
did anything with it) is a DECmate II - the micro version of the PDP-8
(Intersil 6120 based, I think). A couple of questions, as I would like to
test the thing out before I offer it to anyone.

1) Whay kind of video is "video"? Some sort of odd tube? Whatever it is, I
don't have it so I am hoping the box supports a dumb terminal.

2) Will I boot this up from a dumb terminal (VT100, my guess)? What are
the specifics?

This machine is in decent condition, with an RX50 and a hard disk of some
sort. I have no manuals.
