I never touched SCO Unix, I got my Unix start on SunOS/Solaris and very

Sure, they have to be to handle than many serial lines.

But even in the "PC server" space, those were not that common.

They were, as Alexander noted, not that common.

That's not necessarily true, a high-end networking
SoC (40-96 cores, lots of hardware accelerators/peripherals)
has 16 UARTs (alongside multiple 200Gb ethernet ports).

They're hardly obsolete.

Some of those setups persisted a surprisingly long time in the field.
Used to work in the back room at a call center that was still running a
terminal-based setup 'til early 2012; when all you need is a form for
the reps to punch orders into, it Just Works.

(Never got into the backend enough to learn what the host was running;
some flavor of *nix that also managed the PBX, but the business end had
been built on a Win2k Server box in Visual FoxPro, of all things.)

The colored variant of the 3270 terminals or terminal emulators
(distinctive coloring easy to recognize) are in use at a furniture
store a few km from where I live.  No idea what system they have
in the background, though.

But terminals are interesting.  I read a bit on the documentation of the
VT52, where they talked a lot about microcode. The VT100 had a
microprocessor already, an 8080.

Which is why it would have been trivial for DEC to build a reasonable
PC when they were building terminals.

Indeed - in fact, a number of contemporary microcomputers (e.g. the
Vector 3) were basically just a terminal with more RAM and some form of
mass storage, at the hardware level. DEC's lateness to the micro market
was, unfortunately, a management issue rather than a technical one.

(Not that they didn't have some technical hurdles in their own efforts,
thanks to the almost-but-critically-not-quite-compatible LSI versions
of the PDP-8, but Olsen's resistance to the idea and unwillingness to
price down to the market doomed them right out the gate.)

That wasn't their market segment

It's quite rare for a company that has seen success in one sector to 
reinvent itself in another.

At the time, no one knew what use a PC would be.,

The first VT100 line had some interesting firmware bugs. You could
engage smooth-scroll mode (why don’t more apps have that now?), do
some fancy cursor addressing, and suddenly find yourself looking at 3
copies of the line you were typing into. Each time you entered text
and pressed return, more copies would appear.

And the VT100 series spawned unbelievable numbers of clones. The most
elaborate one I saw was the C.Itoh CIT-101. That even had an escape
sequence to trigger the key-click sound.

The later VT200 series were nice and sleek and all that, but I felt
they were a step backwards in one respect: press the “SET-UP” key, and
it took perceptibly longer to switch to the setup menu than the old
VT100 did -- that was instant. I assume the older model had some
double-buffering display hardware support which was dropped from the
newer range ...

Their VT180 was able to run CP/M, complete with floppy drives.
Presumably that took a separate 8080 (or Z80?) from the one that
managed the terminal part.

It was a step backwards in another respect too: it indulged
in the same sort of keyboard layout shenanigans as the IBM PC.
I refused to touch one for that reason.

It took the industry at least 10 years to recover from the
silliness that the IBM PC keyboard layout inflicted on it.

   Umm ... I always kinda liked the PC/AT keyboards.

   Plus they were heavy enough to use as weapons :-)

   Kept using my AT keyboard, with multiple adapters,
   right up until I retired a few years ago. Loved
   the positive clickety-click :-)

No it didn’t. Compare <http://xahlee.info/kbd/vt220_terminal.html>.

The short travel was unusual for the time, and was recognized as
allowing for faster typing, but could also aggravate RSI.

I see the same IBM tricks there: the extra key between Z and the
left-hand shift key, and the return key moved farther away.

I can use keys with short travel, but I don't like them.

You mean, the angle brackets moved to their own key, so that “,” and
“.” are still accessible with or without shift?

In some ways, I think that makes sense. I still regularly hit “,” or
“.” without letting go of the shift key, and get “<” and “>” instead
without meaning to. Having dedicated keys would have been another way
that typists could work even faster.

1. I loved the VT220.
2. The keyboard I'm typing this on a Unicomp a PC-101 clone.
    I refuse to touch a keyboard with an abomination called a "Windows
    Key" on it.

The Windows key can be made useful by remapping it to Compose. Which is
what I do on my laptops - because they're not running Windows anyway.

Kind regards,
           Alex.

I use Caps Lock for that.

You want a non-modifier key for Compose, because it initiates a
multi-keystroke sequence. And if you’re an Emacs user, you want to
keep all the modifier keys you can get. 🙃

The Sway config file refers to Mod4 as the Logo key. By default it's used 
for most of the key sequences like $mod+Return to open the $term.

My Das Keyboard 4 has an interesting wing-like symbol on that key.
Other hardware (like laptops which didn’t come with Windows) uses
other symbols -- my System76 laptop labels it the “Super” key, in the
true hacker tradition. I think I have seen other Linux laptops that
put a penguin symbol there.

Microsoft even tried adding another one lately, the “Copilot” key. I
don’t think that’s been a big success ...
