Hi all

I have just scored a WYSE WY-120 dumb terminal for my uk101 but I'm struggling to find a user manual for it (I've been searching the internet for a PDF). Has anyone got a copy, or a link to a copy?

Thanks

JonB

Alas, the online manuals that WYSE used to maintain disappeared after they were acquired and subsumed by Dell. The only on-line manuals that Dell maintains are for WYSE thin clients.

What information do you need?

How about

http://www.textfiles.com/bitsavers/pdf/wyse/880491-01A_WY-120_Maintenance_Manual_Apr1988.pdf

Whilst this is for an earlier model I would expect the control codes to be similar on the 120

The WY120 includes WY150 emulation, which is a superset of the WY60. Therefore, all escape sequences understood by the WY60 in native mode will work with the WY120.

Great stuff, thank you all!

I have the maintenance manual but I didn't get the WY60 UG. The real thing for me is to know the escape codes, and the termcap files will be very useful indeed!

I believe that, apart from the Micro UK101 (which is currently broken - I'll be reaching for the logic probe in a minute), I can communicate to a Raspberry Pi via the console serial output which is on the GPIO header. I think. Anyway, it'll also get connected to the Pi via a USB serial port, if I can get the darned thing to actually power it.

A number of my retro computers have serial ports. I wonder how many of them can be coerced to present an interface to the port?

Regards
JonB
