I'm hoping I can use my Heathkit H-9 terminal for each of the machines. But I guess I'll have to find some more terminals if I want to make a display with...
... But I don't see that mentioned on the VCF website. This one would be closer for me if it's in NJ. Dan, I promise you that we'll host East 3.0 next spring!!...
Hi Bill, Great catch Bill. There doesn't seem to be many left out there. I've got one of those machines myself. Got it a few years ago at a sale along with...
