The *correct* terminal would be a Prime PST-200 or 250 (both can be seen in photos of my Prime exhibit at VCF several years ago), but I don't think the museum has one. The next most common terminal would probably have been a Televideo 925 - I saw a few installations that used those. A Wyse 50 would also be appropriate, as would any number of third party terminals. While you can definitely use a DEC terminal - those were more expensive at the time, and if you're cheaping out by not buying the Prime terminals, you're not going to spend even *more* and buy a DEC one. -Ian On Sat, Apr 2, 2016 at 12:56 AM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
As discussed the other day: we'll use a Tektronix terminal with the DG Eclipse and an ADM-3A with the hobby systems. PDP-8 gets an ASR-33. That leaves the Prime 6550 (and also the PDP-11/785, but that one is easy because we have a selection of DEC terminals). So... which terminal (that we might have) is the best choice for the Prime?
