Doesn't the VT-62 do graphics?
I was reading about some PDP-11 OS (RT-11?) where they used 62's as graphical terminals.
I say we try to build something funky for it - I'm game if there's any documentation on its protocols..

What can be done (non-destructive suggestions only, please) with a VT-62? This is NOT a VT52 (although it looks like one). The VT62 is a block mode terminal that, I think, actually speaks DDCMP. AFAIK it's incapable of being a plain ASCII terminal unless there's some hack I'm unaware of.
Right now the only thing I can think of is to part it out as spares for my VT52. I have two of the latter and it looks like at least some of the major assemblies - CRT, keyboard, power supply - are identical. I hate to do that, though, if there's a better use for it.
