Hi all,
I am the happy owner of a PDP-11/23 computer. After the initial tests (the machine has not been powered up in many, many years) and providing stuff does power up, I would like to connect it to a terminal.
Please excuse my noobiness in the questions below. I assume a I need a serial terminal (although my PDP also has a ethernet card). It needs to have a keyboard as well. What kind of terminal should I be looking at getting? Outside eBay where can I look? Can I get something for around $100 or do I need to shell $250+ for a DEC terminal?
I am not (right now at least) interested in getting an original DEC terminal, anything that I can connect to the PDP would be good for me.
Does a terminal like this work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-3476-In...4152?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item4ac5c57d68
How would I connect a keyboard to it?
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Regards,
Vlad.
