[comp.sys.pyramid] lost console

stokes@udiego.UUCP (09/02/87)

Our 90x's Wyse 300 console terminal suddenly turned bright
blue and it was diagnosed by the local terminal wizard as
a dead color gun.  The Wyse 300 is being sent to Wyse for
repair, but it raises several questions:

	1. What do other sites do when they lose their consoles?
	2. Is there a good choice for replacements/backup consoles?
	3. Since 'P' says only a Wyse 300 or Wyse xxx for a console
		terminal, has anyone had to find something different?

We sell and support Pyramid product in Canada.  An effective back-up console
is the Ampex 230+ emulating a Wyse 50.  Other brands emulating Wyse-50 should
also work.  We sell Ampex tubes too ;-)
