I would like to be able to design a foreign char set for the vt102 ...
I found in the manual that it can take a beast called "An Alternate
ROM Character Set". This sounds like the right thing ... What I need
to know, is what is the format of such an alternate char set, and what
EPROM can I use to put it on ...

vt100 series are pretty cheap these days, and so being able to hack a
foreign char set onto them might be of interest to many people (as
opposed to Regis terminals which are obsolete and slow, and vt240,
vt340 terminals which are very expensive), so it might be a good idea
to post to the newsgroup.

Thanks,

Mayer Goldberg
