We have recently demo'ed the VISUAL 50 and the QUME 102. Here are our
comments ;
Visual 50 - Alot of nice features. Menu setup mode, VT52/ADM3a/ADDS/HAzel
compatibility, semi smooth scroll, N key rollover, swivel/tilt display, 80x25
lines, detachable keyboard, and so on. The only complaint with the terminal is
that it is way too big. Its really a moose! Price is $695, $600-$650 at
discount houses.
QUME 102 - We feel in love with this terminal. Nice crisp display. The
packaging is the best I have ever seen. Small footprint, lightweight,
swivel/tilt display, detachable keyboard, ADM3a/ADM5a/ADDS/TV910/HAZEL
compatible, 80x25 lines, and 20 watt power supply. Only minor complaint here
is the keyboard. I don't think it has N key rollover, and it is a bit too
flat, but I would take it. Maybe some rubber legs on the back could prop it up
a bit. Price to Stanford is $600 ($695 list). Qume will have a similiar model
out (103) in 30 days which is VT100 compatible for $895 list.
Between the two, the QUME is the hands down winner. I'd be interested in more
info on the new Zenith Z29 which was mentioned previously.
Thanks,
Ed
