Can you post links for this and the 3B2 emulator? I had one for a few years at Georgia Tech and I *loved* the keyboard. It was a huge productivity boost being able to have multiple windows. We used them connected to our Vax 11/780 with 4 Meg of memory running 4.[12] BSD (don't remember which) and having multiple DMD 5620s with multiple windows open on each drove the poor vax to its knees...
