@blix1ms0ns Stop it.

Actually V7 was the first RSTS/E I ever worked on (on a PDP-11/44 though), though I used Pericom terminals rather than standard DEC. Seeing that SYSTAT brings back a lot of memories!

I had the dec vt100, vt220, and the rainbow...they were awesome useless computers because no one wrote cool software for them.

[dcmoisan]

Yup, it's SYSTAT. The VT52 was the second computer terminal I ever used; we had ADDS terminals and I remember writing computer games that used the cursor-addressing. First question on starting the game was "(A)DDS or (V)T-52?" since the escape sequences were different.

I have a VT52 (in Stockholm), I'm moving and I'd like to sell it, any ideas on where?

[timbit1995]

pdp-1 is more of a phenomenom hen this

[woodnorton]

Wonderful, the first VDU I ever used! Looks like running the SYSTAT program

[Membrane556]

I'd like to find me a PDP to add to my collection one of these days.

[wisteela]

Superb. I'm after a VT52. They don't seem to turn up over here in the UK.

[AlexplusChris]

or anywhere for that matter.

[wisteela]

Indeed so. Also the VT100.

[jtel]

Thank you for posting this.

[rockolutheran]

what an old computer

[twylo]

I'm jealous! I would love to get a VT52, but I've never seen one in the wild.

[WoffordWitch]

I've found several in the wild and I think that I have 4 or 5 live ones and one dead one.

[sauron1grenoble]

do you know where i can get any terminal? preferably a vt100!

is there any way to connect an old dec terminal to a modern day pc?

[JGevaryahu]

@WoffordWitch Wow, 4-5 live and one dead vt52? what's wrong with the dead one?

I've been trying to find someone who has one to dump the discrete-component processor roms, and the character set rom from, since a group I'm working with wants to get an emulator running; we have the schematics but are missing the microcode and character set.
