Recently, I found an old Sperry Univac Terminal named UNITERM 200 in a Computer junk store for $25 and took it home. Does anybody know this Terminal type? The design seems to be from the stone age, and it has many buttons with cryptic names on them on its keyboard. All I know is that it seems to work in local mode right now, and that it has a 25 pin male sub-d connector, which I suppose to be a standard RS-232 port. However, there's also another multi-pin nonstandard connector, and a key named PRINT on the keypad. Is it possible that the RS-232 is only for a local printer? And/or can I expect this to be settable/interchangeable? Does anybody know baudrate, parity, number of data and stop bits, and the type of handshaking (RTS/CTS, Xon/Xoff, or none) ? How do I set this Terminal Online? Typos appear right on the screen, so I have no Echo mode right now via the serial port. No Data, not even junk, seems to be received via the port, tried at different baud rates and parity/handshake settings. For sending, there semms to be a button "Transmit unprot Display", but how do I receive? Any help would be highly appreciated, because we need this terminal for a student's project. PLEASE HELP!!
