Join me to take a look at the popular travel agent terminal from the 1980's
The Sony KTX-9000UB Super Viewdata Terminal.
It's a device I've owned for getting on for 25 years now. I initially was looking to use it back in the 90's - but it didn't go anywhere. Onwards 25 years and lock-down boredom helped me get back on track.
Now this guide is informational - it's how I have managed to get the system working for me. It's not an authoritative guide, so I expect I've probably got some details wrong.
So far I've spotted one mistake on SteveText!
