So Antonio donated a whole bunch of VAX articles to the Computer History
wiki, with the result that many of the top items on the 'Wanted

of those
around - anyone up for helping to fill them in?
There's already a wiki that covers terminals at
http://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. It also seems to
cover at least some printers.
Would the simplest thing be to simply link to there for terminals?

Well I joined DEC in 1975 as a terminals specialist.
At that time there were the VT05, VT50 and VT52. VDU's ASR33,LA30 and
LA36 printing terminals.
I remember being shown the VT100 prototype and being totally blown away.
It was streets ahead of anything else and became the industry standard.
