The University of Illinois bought two HDS Concept AVTs 4 years ago that
I would be extremely reluctant to give up. The keyboard layout is just
about optimal (wide shift, control, tab, and return keys where you
expect them) with the more useless keys like shift-lock moved off the
main area entirely. The display is crisp, reliability has been excellent.
Each terminal had one capacitor replaced with parts that HDS volunteered
when they learned of the problem from other customers.
The eight pages of screen memory are a big plus - it eliminates a lot
of repeated commands or remembering to pipe output through more/less.
Another feature I've grown to like a lot is the 2nd tty port. I have port
1 connected to my workstation, port 2 goes to a Sytek mux that reaches
machines not on the campus tcp/ip network.
I would love to try one of their new terminals.
