I happen to have a VT-105, but I don't recall much in the way of non-lab apps that ever used the graphing capability of the VT-105 (or any of the other semi-graphical DEC terminals). > On my site there are images of disks, but > it requires a PC capable of writing single density format to an 8" disk.

Plenty of ways to write an RX01 with a PC that can write the format and has an 8" drive on it. I'm working on that myself (John recently sent me a 24V boost PSU, so I'm going to try to hang a Tandon TM-848 off a DOS/Win3.11 PC, but I'm also likely to grab an RXV21 and stuff it into a MicroPDP-11 and use vtserver with an enclosed RX02 from a MINC-11 - after I run it through a refurb to clean out dust and hardened positioner grease). -ethan
