Digital VT320 Terminal (July 1989)
(click to enlarge)
This is a good piece of my collection and really old as you can see above. This was one of the greatest terminals in its time, and was quite expensive too.
There is not much to descrive for that as it is just a "dumb" terminal. It connects via a serial port to the main server which usually was IBM for such terminals, and it can accept one printer.

The back side where you can see all the ports. The large port shown is a COMM port and can be connected with the serial port of a pc and work. The pc of course must have the appropriate software for that to happen or OS (Linux). We can also see one 2 DEC MMJ ports in which the one accepts a printer anfd the other is for serial communication.
