  • ooOOOooh! Thats a unicomp keyboard I see!

  • @BigSneakySnake Yes sir, it is. To the left of me is the keyboard for my work computer, which is an original IBM Model M, and to the right of me is another Model M on a KVM switch for my router and fileserver. So I'm rocking a Unicomp flanked by two IBM model Ms.

    Chuck Norris fears me.

  • I've been thinking about linux.

  • @tiecuando This is my 8th year using it. I switched from Windows 2000. I've never regretted it. Community developed, community supported, and everything is free. About my speed.

  • Hi Quag, I'm sorry you had so much trouble getting the right MMJ adapter for the VT320. I wish I had known sooner. I have a number of variants of the H8571 (official DEC MMJ adapter series) that I am highly unlikely to ever need again and I'd be pleased to see them put to good use (gratis!).

    Please contact me (find me on LinkedIn: CEO eCognisant Limited) to exchange details

    Best regards, Bob Lewis

  • Looks so smooth!!! Thx for sharing!!!

  • Very nice. Keep up the good work with your serial vids. I've been using my HP 700/44 serial terminal from '88 every day with Ubuntu. The screen command is wonderful when people like us want to have a bunch of frequently used stuff accessible by keystroke, as I'm sure you know. Alpine, lynx, bc, ircii for me! (And my shell prompt tells time :P)

  • @Quag7 Fuck yeah, the hardest part for me is transitioning though.
