@wyatt Granted some #ThinClients like the #SunRay series used it.

meanwhile I'm looking for a #VT525 #Terminal that isn't sold by some #scalpers...

Terminal Nr. 2 ist auch fertig. Optisch deutlich schöner (kein Gilb), aber das Gehäuse hat hinten einiges abgekommen. Da musste ich um die Schrauben rum ein paar Teile kleben. Sieht man aber zum Glück nicht. 🙂

#DEC #digital #VT525 #RetroComputing

@rl_dane @NanoRaptor @dfloyd888 +1

Maybe one day I can get my hands on a #VT525 or something alike it.

Or see @stman to design one of those from scratch given that he needs to engineer a #Terminal anyway for several projects.

@foone I guess people mistake them for the #ThinClients that #Dell sells under the #WYSE brand to this day and think "Let's just charge people as much as they'd be willing to pay for those..."

• Personally I'd love to get my hands on a #VT525 because it's a #DEC #terminal with like #VGA & PS/2 and not some big #CRT...

Even tho I too would love some #amber & #green in my room and would love to test those against @OS1337...

@beka_valentine @astraluma that's why late terminals like the #VT525 were mostly a #legacy drop-in replacements and only got used in old installations.

The closest to #Terminals we've got today are #ThinClients but those are just regular #computers made with low-power #embedded / #mobile chips and customized with a minimalist (usually #Linux distro) OS that only does allow for making a #RemoteDesktop session...

Useability-Wise this makes it a replacement as the actual "computing" is elsewhere.

@beka_valentine not necessarily.

The #VT525 is a #Terminal without integrated screen but #VGA output, #Serial Port & #PS2 Keyboard input.

and it even does #Colour!
