I'd like some information about the 925 and 950. Specifically,
which came first?

I have had a 925 for a long time. A couple weeks ago, I happened
to be in one of the many surplus electronics places when I found
what looked like a group of 3 925s. The first was broken, but
the second one seemed to be in excelent shape. I shorted 2 and 3
on the RS-232 port and sure enough... But the display looked
different. I finally realized that this was a TVI-950. So I grabbed
it (the price was right), and got it home. Now I'm having a hard
time deciding which terminal to use more.

Both seem to have identical electronics, apart from the CPU board,
and those look remarkably similar, except that the 950 is missing
the internal DIP switches. What's worse, the settings of those
switches seems to be just exactly the opposite of how I like it.
Keyclick is on, screenblank is off, attributes are screen instead
of line... All this has me going for the 925 over the 950.

It appears to me that the 950 is an 'upgrade' of the 925, since
the CPU board bears the traces for that internal switch set.
If I could set the options the way I like them (the setup screen
is no help as far as I can tell), I'd chose the 950, but that damn
keyclick is driving me batty, and I bet the lack of screenblank
would kill the phosphor before too long.
