I've long since given away or sold most of my old DEC terminals, I've still got a couple (VT340, VT340+, VT220 x 2) but the keyboards don't hold up. I'm down to two working keyboards (an LK201 and an LK401). I've been tempted to wire up a HID -> VTxx adapter using a simple embedded controller. I'll have to add that to my list of fun projects for a long weekend.
Generally though when using them on older machines I am amazed at how frustrating 80 columns of 24 (or 25) lines can be! Sure you can do "wide" mode and get 132 columns but still, the desire to see more screen real estate is a constant issue.
