I picked up a few Gigi's that someone was giving away (read tossing) and have been using them in place of my PC since. Someone wrote that it had a "braindead" emulation of vt100... Funny, works great for me. I have a printcap entry on my DecStation2100 for a vk100 which is what it really is. I've had no problem and the price was great. I also have the manual for it including some technical information, paper only I'm afraid. -- # Harold Tomlinson ## haroldt@paralandra.yorku.ca # # Computing & Communications Services ## (416)736-5257-33802 # # YORK UNIVERSITY, Ont, CANADA ## ########################### #
