I assume the 380 also worked. They did the emulation for the screen. IIRC they did VT52 console support so K52 worked. I don't think they added VT100 support. The Pro was a pretty nice RT box. Too bad they didn't use that instead of the annoying menu driven POS. Venix for the Pro was a free download on the net when I last looked. It's still mentioned here as a download. http://www.vintage-computer.com/dec_pro_350.shtml Bill -- d|i|g|i|t|a|l had it THEN.
