In somewhat-related news, I have a green-phosphor VT100 serial terminal hooked up to my Raspberry Pi 3 via a USB/RS232 adapter and I run SIMH emulating a PDP-11 running period-appropriate UNIX V. Great fun.

Green VT-100 are rare afaik. Usually white.

Where does one get a vt100 like that?

qubex9 anni fa

eBay — search for ”vt100 serial terminal” and you should find plenty compatible devices.

DEC VT420 = best VT box ever. And if you can't get one of those, try to nail down a VT320.

Western Electric was Bell's manufacturing division, and they had machines running Unix earlier, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3B_series_computers

Doesn't seem possible to invoke an on-screen keyboard when using Android's Chrome.

(Press Run > tap into input box to begin typing - no keyboard presented)

For anyone who doesn't know, Ken Thompson was an important figure in the '70s computer-chess movement http://www.computerhistory.org/chess/brute-force-vs-knowledg... .
