I think an old terminal such as this would make a great frontend to a project like a robot or a cluster.

About
It Ain't Dead Yet is a blog for showcasing new and/or unusual pieces of technology, identifying them, and finding their values (historical value/practical use/$ value). It serves the purpose of documenting all the interesting and weird technology that passes through the ACCRC. There will be many pieces of unidentified technology showcased here, so feel free to comment about their values/uses. All of the technology here was donated/recycled to the ACCRC, and once it has been identified and discussed, it will donated to a museum, put to use somehow, or be sold. Anyone with ideas about how to put this stuff to good use please leave a comment.

as recently as the 1990's, I was using these. There were debugging kernels for 16-bit windows, and the debugger appeared on a serial terminal, plugged into the com1 port, while the win GUI programs ran using the VGA adapter.
Modern linuxes can be wired in a similar manner, with messages and logs out the serial ports. Only way to debug serious problems that prevent the kernel from starting.
I had am ADM 3 I had found at a garage sale.
Hooked to a MODCOMP and using a line editor...my retinas still have the blurry b&w text burned into them...a nightmare I hope to never re-live.
Awesome - I remember in 1983, 8th grade at school, our Alpha Micro system had 8 of those 1510'sconnected to it and a few Televidoe 910's. Three pencil-marked card readers and two TI 810 printers were shared between all the students and occasinonally we were allowed to use the temrinals to correct minor card mis-reads on our projects.
