Since I now have a couple of these and google is coming up blank-ish has anyone come across a VT keyboard, possibly from a Plessey PT100 style terminal, that is 99% VT100 in shape, colour and key layout? Even the 6mm jack plug though I know Apple used that too on the Lisa.
I found a message thread from here in 2002 about the VT131 and what sounds like an identical keyboard but aside from 'don't knows' and a mention of Plessey nothing else was found and it descended into chat about scanning Microfiche. I toyed briefly with the thought that I'd ended up with the VT and keyboard of those messages but the OP of that was in Champagne IL. Earlier tonight I dismantled one of them in the hope of seeing a manufacturer or any sort of branding but nada. There's a 2716 EPROM marked 'PKB00' which I dumped but there's nothing of note in there either. Maybe the pic will help, maybe not since you'll think 'that's a VT keyboard' :) -- Adrian/Witchy Binary Dinosaurs creator/curator Www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the UK's biggest private home computer collection?
