Infotrons! and the old UPPER CASE ONLY BEEHIVES!
I remember those and also the old TEC terminals
A recent TEC endowment to the museum was of all these multi colored books
TEC put out on all their terminal lines. I need to see where they may
already be scanned.. in
I miss my old Televideo 910. I wonder if Steve Albany stole it?
At ASU, when I was a kid pulling DECwriter printers out the bin to check
for printouts in half-duplex, they had something called an Infoton. It was
uppercase only and had the worst keyboard, ever. It felt like typing on a

The display is actually a Tektronix 611 direct-view storage

Nice, working photos of a VT20. I'd forgotten the oddball keys on the side.
In the VT71 picture, you can see the UDKs --

Those useable for the CHWiki (with credit, of course)?
Oddly enough, I just did the article on the VT05 about a week ago!
