After reading the September issue of Byte magazine, I have decided
to get one of Steve Ciarcia's SB180 SBC's. (Pretty nice board!) I have
decided on the disk drives, and all of the related hardware but I still
haven't decided on a terminal. I am looking for something inexpensive, yet
not a piece of crap. I have seen ads for the Qume QVT-101 terminal and I'm
quite impressed at the features you get for the price (which is about $300
for a green screen and $315 for amber, mail order). My problem is that I
know of noone that has one or has even used one to get an opinion on it. I
thought this might be a good place to ask for a little info. So, does
anyone out there in net-land own one, use one, or know of anyone that
owns/uses one? I would be most appreciative of any info as to quality,
reliability, keyboard feel/layout or anything else that might be of
importance. Also, if anyone knows of another inexpensive terminal that
isn't bad, let me know...I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance,
Keith Hatfull

Our Tech. support group has scads of the Qume QVT-101 terminals. We looked for quite a while and bought these because of the good keyboard, nice screen and cheap price (about $300 or so). They have a good TV910 emulation mode as well. I think they've been just as if not more reliable than our VT100s.
