VT220 (and USB serial converter)
Description
A classic serial terminal! Once a staple of just about every library and office building in the country, this VT220 still works, and can be connected to your favorite free machine over the serial interface. Note that the keyboard is a bit busted. This is the same terminal that was on the FSF reception desk for some time, introducing visitors to ASCII art, NetHack, and other free software lore. This VT220 comes with a USB serial converter with which you can connect the term to a PC and initialize it via getty system service. The USB serial converter is generic and works with Linux-libre. In the early days of the GNU System, a VT220 like this was used to develop GNU software.
