126.0. "VT200 Bugs?" by VAXUUM::DYER () Fri Jun 14 1985 20:27

	Aside from keyboard layout (-:), has anyone found any bugs in the
VT200 series terminals?

A little bit of fiddling with CTRL/S, CTRL/Q and the HoldScreen key seems
to cause a system crash (SetUp no longer works, and a power-off-on cycle is
necessary).

Yes, indeed.  Often, if I'm stopping and starting output over and over, as
in reading something slowly that's trying to spew at 9600 baud, terminal
dies as stated.

For another bug, spurious horizontal bar can be produced on vt241.  For method,
please see "Terminal Issues" notes file (RANI::TERMINALS), note number 223.

Does this bug exist on other vt2xx terminals ?  If anyone tries the example
in 223 in Terminals, please let me know !

The power supplies also have a habit of exploding!

RE: .2

I have produced the "overbar" problem on the vt240.  I have not yet been
able to isolate the control sequences that cause the problem.  Firmware
version is V2.1.
