VT100 Terminals

[esko997]

Do any GHers have one or a similar terminal? If yes where did you get it and how much was it?

Id really like to get one but they are seeming to not only be expensive but also pretty elusive.

Also, if you have one what do you use it for?

Many years ago, I had a C.Itoh CIT-101, which is basically a VT100 clone.

Bought it from a local university; they have a "surplus goods" shop which used to funnel all sorts of fun computer stuff, but the last ~5 years, they've switched to selling the computers by the palet-load at auction instead.

I used it briefly as an auxillary display for a Linux box (set up to display top), and when trying to bootstrap a Sun Ultra 10 without the standard keyboard//mouse).

Eventually put it out because, honestly, it was big and clunky and achieved no useful goal that couldn't be done with a small old laptop running terminal-emulator software.

I have a VT220 (maybe 2, can't remember, but I think one was broken and I threw it out).

Also an HP terminal.

And a Link terminal (kinda similar to Wyse) that has a keyboard with MX blacks.
