[comp.terminals] WY160 comments?

phys169@csc.canterbury.ac.nz (12/14/90)

Does anyone have any comments about the newish Wyse 160 terminals, especially
as to how they compare with the older WY99GT (in emulating VT220's and the Tek
4010)?  I know the WY99GT has an interpretation of the "dark vector" in 4010
mode that is different from (better than, if you want to delete specific stuff
on a screen) others. Does the WY160 do this?  Are they reliable? (We've had
heaps of problems with WY99GT power supplies & capacitors lately, that makes me
reluctant to buy more Wyse stuff, but they do seem to be cost-effective, and
perhaps more rugged). Any comments gratefully appreciated.
