We have about 800 HDS terminals (HDS200) and have also have reliability problems with the fly-back unit burning up (yes smoke). The distributer here has supplied new fly-back units and the company has now brought out the HDS2000 unit that has new "guts" that is a fix to the reliability problem. I still haven't found (around here) a true dual port terminal that can support that number of options these VDU's can. I won't list them here but I'm a believer. Dave Sellers
