[net.info-terms] Z29 vs. Wyse-50

hagens@uwvax.ARPA (08/08/84)

I am thinking of buying a z29 or a wyse-50. I have worked on the
z29 alittle, and am aware of the key rollover problems. Does anyone
know of wyse problems? Any thoughts on which is better?

I will post results if anyone is interested.

There is a fix to the N-key rollover on the z29.  With this fix, I'd
say they are a much better terminal than the wyse-50.  The keyboard
on the wyse is not as responsive, and I think a couple keys are in
funny places (its been a bit since I used one).

Anyone have a TERMCAP for a vt102... I currently use a vt100 TERMCAP,
but have heard of several subtle differances/enhancements that a vt102
has.
