I knew some old-school librarians that were so fast on the old school terminal opacs that you couldn't even see the screen fully refresh. The management interface was a good bit different with a lot more options. Some of the librarians and clerks would have a lot of quick keys programmed to swap between various functions. If you messed up someones quick keys, you were reading the stacks for lost books (like being sent to the library clerk dungeon). Watching skilled terminal opac wizardry was a sight to behold. Something died the day we went to GUI. Many of the wizards never were able to fully adapt to it. - Nice video, Thanks!

[@sethbrown1763]

Veronica, you took me back to the 80s/90s when I spent about 13 years working with Wyse50 terminals and various versions of UNIX/Xenix/HP-UX. I did field support for a multi-national in Latin America, setting up UNIX systems, modems, etc. Burnt my fingers soldering cables lots of times making serial cables :) The Wyse terminal's programmable function keys were a real revelation to me and I made good use of them to speed up data entry. I ended up traveling with short serial cables which converted from DB-9 to DB-25 or DB-15, male to female, female to female, etc because I never knew what I would meet in a particular country. And, of course, different systems had different pinouts, so I would always need to have photocopies of the pinouts for each system. There's a wonderful book called the C programmer's guide to serial communications by Joe Campbell which goes into wonderful detail about anything and everything to do with serial communications, the ASCII character set, the various protocols, UARTs, modems and all kind of serial stuff. This used to be my life on a daily basis. One would think that using these terminals would limit productivity, but I remember having 100 users on a HP PA-RISC system with a 48MHz CPU, 64MB RAM and nobody ever complained about speed. We ran everything on that system - email, word processing, spreadsheets, database applications, program development, etc. Those old systems were remarkably efficient and productive. For heads down data entry, there was nothing faster than a green screen terminal. You never moved your hands from the keyboard to click a mouse, so you could get up to high speeds for data entry. I've even seen people punch data faster than the screens could keep up without losing their rhythm, which looks like magic the first time you see it.

[@VeronicaExplains]

Thank you for this comment! I totally agree, these terminals are remarkably efficient. It's really something.

[@RonJohn63]

Character-mode terminals were resource hogs: that HP server had to immediately react to every key pressed by every user. _Much_ more efficient were block-mode terminals like the IBM 3270: you filled in a screen full of data, pressed the XMIT key, and only then did the computer notice you. That way 100 users had good response on a 2 MIPS system with only 6MB RAM, while also running batch jobs.

[@JohnTurner313]

My first paid gig was COBOL using a Wyse terminal over RS-232 to a TI mini. Thank you for the memories!

I too started out as a Pick developer, but in 1990, and with a Wyse WY-60 which I loved (although the company had all sorts of them; 30, 50, 55, 60 & 120). We finally switched to using PCs with Terminals Emulators in about 1995/96, different times for sure.

[@donaldwilliams6821]

Great vudei! I used to prefer terminals to GUI. I started with PDP11's and later with screen and tmux I could do so much from a terminal. I really enjoyed X-Windows terminals from NCD, etc That was the best of all worlds. Running an office with Sun Microsystems servers to Xterms and serial terminals was amazing. So much less admin work compared to everyone having their own Windoze PC. Thanks again. Would be funny to get an old Xterminal running with Linux. :)

I love retro tech like this. You mentioned why you like Linux and how it can connect with older devices. That's actually why I like windows too! Even on a Windows 10 machine it's crazy what you can get running. I have seen old vista devices running fine, and even DOS POINT of Sale Software! I actually live the idea of terminals they are very close to zero clients which I find cool too!

[@paulsander5433]

Buying lots of adapters is good advice! 🙂 I've done a lot of work with RS-232 communications and found this to be a good universal toolkit: two each DB-9 M-F cable, two each DB-25 M-F cable, two each DB-9 to DB-25 adapters (M-F and F-M), one each DB-9 and DB-25 gender changers (M-M and F-F), DB-25 null modem adapter (M-F), DB-25 straight through LED monitor (M-F), DB-25 break out box (M-F). Make sure the cables include ALL available wires, and that the null modem adapter includes the status/handshake/flow signals. If budget limited, get a break out box that also has LED monitors on both sides to replace the null modem adapter and straight through LED monitor. This combination of tools should allow someone to connect any RS-232 device to any other RS-232 device. The break out box is useful for non-standard connections or if the secondary channel is used. Use the LED monitor to determine whether or not the null modem is needed, and how many of the connections are needed in the final cable. Often a connection needs only the two data signals and ground, but sometimes you need the status/handshake/flow signals. For most connections, there exists a prewired cable that you can buy. But it might also be a good idea to have enough supplies to wire up a custom cable to match the Rube Goldberg contraption you assemble from all those adapters. Something I've considered for a long time but never had to do is to set up a jump box with serial cables connected to all of the servers in a given rack. If you enable the console on each server's serial port, you can get access to any of those machines if they lose their network connection, without the expense of a remote KVM for each server. You can ssh into the jump box and run a serial terminal program to communicate with any of the servers that are so connected. Many people don't know this, but FTDI makes USB/Serial bridges with up to four channels. There are boxes and cables using something like this that are available for as little as about 20 USD from vendors like newegg. With these, you don't even have the expense of a USB hub to use something like a re-tasked Raspberry Pi 3B+ to control 8-12 servers. Something like this can't compete with a full-featured IP KVM or remote admin capabilities on good servers. But it fills an important niche on a very small budget, especially if the "servers" are really low-end desktop models.

A lot of nostalgia for me this video. In the mid 90's I was in charge of an old unix sun microsystem with about 100 tty screens to manage. I had to gradually make the transition to the pc's world while developing multidirectional "bridges" (a kind of API's) to allow the exchange of data between the two worlds.

Thank you for the great video. My first job was supporting some NCR terminals running from a 2x NCR minis, for a local council (government thingy in Australia) and a library, as well as writing COBOL programs for these NCR systems.

I now buy and sell Apple equipment (as well as anything else), and have decided to start my channel and show off my 150-200 boxes to unbox, as well as anything else I can show.

[@wysoft]

The Wyse terminal brings back good childhood memories. It was my first experience using Unix and the internet in the early 90s. My local library had a set of Wyse terminals that was hooked up to a Unix terminal server of some sort. Creating an account through the library also got you an E-mail address. The system had a menu driven shell where you could access mh, usenet, gopher, etc. and even access a user shell. I learned a lot about Unix and the early Internet just reading the books in the library and playing around on one of the terminals, where several were almost always free. A few years later and I had internet access and Linux in my own home, how things did move quickly.

I may have been slightly late to the party for this stack, one of my first jobs was running a SCO Unix 7 platform with around 500'ish connected clients up and down the UK using VT220 over ethernet, so I never did direct serial. Very quickly switched to Citrix Metaframe delivered applications, but that unix console was then delivered via a VT220 terminal application within Windows. This just fills me with insane nostalgia... despite not doing this directly :)

Meanwhile, at one point, a coworker and I went down a long path of exploring the "Yost Serial Device Wiring Standard" (cool thing!), which I think we thought there were flaws in, though I think we might have been wrong, and anyway, getting that going at that workplace (and my home labs, since).

[@Joel-ew1zm]

One of my favorite little facts I drop frequently when talk of terminals comes up is the meaning of "TTY". You will see "TTY" a lot when dealing with terminals or terminal emulation. It stands for TeleTYpewriter. That on its own is a whole other fun rabbit hole of tech history to dive down. While the Linux "command prompt" is a terminal emulator, you could say that a physical terminal is a TeleTYpewriter emulator.

[@crazyedo9979]

Thank you for the video. Right now I reassemble an ADDS Regent 60 Terminal after repairing and renovating the pcb's. My current project is similar to yours. Instead of a raspberry I will use an older POS computer which supports six native rs232 ports. As an application I plan to use a homebrew addressbook software. 😁

MICOM was the name of the PBX manufacturer. We had 1,500 foot serial runs between the PBX and the terminal, so we used serial line drivers (see if you can remember those). The terminals we used were HP black and white displays. I'm thinking 2621s?
