[comp.terminals] fried wyse

george@flight.UUCP (George Rachor x65135) (05/03/89)

I remember some discussions in this group a while back about various problems
people had with wyse terminals.  We have several with power supply problems
(some were spectacular).  Did anyone archive the previous discussions?

Is there a common failure to these terminals?  We have seen this on models
60 and 75.  Are schematics available anywhere?

Thanks,

George Rachor

We bought a few Wyse-60's about two years ago and last month all three
died (within a one month period).  One got fixed, and two are in the
process of getting fixed.  We don't plan no buying any more Wyse
terminals.
