On the other hand, and in my opinion, the VT05 is one thing that
is best forgotten.
It is the only device I know of that needed fill characters if you
sent large amounts of fill characters to it...
Heh... Not that I ever hit that problem, but then again, I never used a
VT05 extensively. But I do remember feeling very competent when I
managed to disable the margin bell on that thing. A case of reading the
schematics, and then cutting the correct wire on the correct card. :-)

Funny in a way, since I remember your name from when I was an extreme
newbie on NADJA.
I was just fascinated that there was another "Johnny", and one that knew
much more, and had been around much longer than me. So I rather thought
of myself as "the other one". :-)
(For others, this was in the early 80s, and NADJA was a KS-10 at KTH,
The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and a machine on which
random "hackers" were fooling around after midnight. TOPS-10... Ah, the
memories...)
