JFC on a raft. I just checked to see if this version of linux would support a VT220. Heck, this version suports a VT-50 and a VT-52.

Obviously, it supports the standard VT-100 terminal. How would I use VI without that?

More disturbingly, it supports a real tty interface. There isn't even hardware that can sink or source that much current.

Yep, it also has a 'line printer on fire' error message.

I'm effectively running legacy software from the '60s and '70s.

Apple made billions off the same platform.
