Mac Setups: Mac Pro and a VT220

Aug 20, 2011 - 8 Comments

Mac Pro and VT220

I’m not sure this qualifies for a traditional Mac setup post but it’s neat enough that it has to be posted. You’re looking at a Mac Pro with an old school VT220 connected to it functioning as a terminal, as you can see it’s working just fine too, running the ‘top’ command to show off the Mac Pro’s stats.

If this strikes your fancy, you can read more about how to set one up yourself on Jstn.cc

Just for fun, here’s the workstation minus the VT220 terminal, with just a Mac Pro, Cinema Display, and an iPad. It looks a bit lonely without the VT220:

And a closeup of the Vt220:

This isn’t the first Tumblr employee setup we’ve posted either, something about their service just breeds cool offices and nice Mac setups with great hardware.

Thanks for sending this in Dave
