Heh, maybe the Smithsonian. When I was in college I interned at RCA, and there were a few of those floating around in the file system. Worked great on the cheap VT-100 clone terminals, but not so well on the more advanced VT-220s.
I wish I'd had access to them when I worked at a company that actually wrote terminal emulation programs for the Mac.
I worked at RCA (Camden NJ) from 82 to 84 and I created the Outer Limits and Twilight Zone VT100 animations. I wrote a program in Basic under VAX/VMS to emit the cursor addressing characters to a file that could then be dumped to the screen for "playback". My 15 minutes of fame. :-)
Ever see the files that would play this on a VT-100 screen?
ReplyDeleteNo. What museum has a working VT100?
