jim@applix.com (Jim Morton [ext 237]) (06/19/91)
It's been about 3 months since I last posted this, and I got many
favorable responses so for now I'll make it a quarterly posting. Some
of the information has been updated, including announcements made at
Xhibition '91. Many thanks to all who E-mailed me additional information.
Important: The information on this list has been informally collected
from all sorts of sources. It is believed to have at least been reliable
information at some point, but I make no statement that this information
is current or correct. The prices are not quotes - in all cases contact
the vendor for up to date information. I will update the list with any new
information I receive that seems reliable. For any vendor I have left off
the list or have incorrect information on, I apologize but please get me
the updated information - that's the whole point of this!

In article <1217@applix.com>, jim@applix.com (Jim Morton [ext 237])
has posted a listing of technical data and prices of various X terminals.
The article is incomplete. Here is some more information about the
TDV 6230 and Tandberg Data A/S:
Tandberg Data, the Norwegian based company with an international sales
organization, is marketing an X terminal - named TDV 6230 - with many
ergonomic features:
* 17" flat-face, anti-reflex screen
* high refresh rate (78 Hz)
* 1024 x 768 resolution
* full overscan (no black borders)
* small footprint, one unit (electronics enclosed in monitor)
* low radiation (satisfies the Swedish recommendations)
* GS (Geprufte Sicherheit) from Berufsgenossenshaft in Germany
The terminal may be delivered as a black/white or 16 grey-scales model
and supports 2 or 4 Mbyte RAM (field upgradable from 2 to 4).
Built around the a 50 Mhz TMS 34010 graphics processor from Texas Instruments,
the TDV 6230 runs approximately 20.000 xstones with the current X server
(X11 R4). The server has been ported and optimized by Tandberg Data.
The product also incorporates features like:
* XDMCP
* backing store
* font caching
* supports several font formats (converts to correct bit/byte order)
* diagnostics functionality (console, memory, network statistics & PING)
* local VT 100 emulator (over V24 port or telnet)
* menu texts and documentation in English, German, French, Swedish and
Norwegian
Tandberg Data is a full member of the MIT X Consortium.
Here's what should be included in Jim's article:
