Not vim but vi, it was fast enough for me on machines with less than a dozen MHz, probably high single digit.
However we have many more layers now. I had a 80x24 serial tty exchanging ASCII characters with the computer back then.
- gonzo 4y agoYes, but at what baud?
- pmontra 4y agoProbably 4 digits. I was young and not a very fast typer yet. Zenith green phosphor terminals with a repeat key. This one or very similar https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zenith_Z-19_Terminal.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zenith_Z-19_Terminal... According to https://vt100.net/heath/z19-om.pdf https://vt100.net/heath/z19-om.pdf it can do 110 to 9600 baud. It was connected to some Z8000 based Onyx server. It was generally good but incredibly slow when more than four or five of us were compiling code for the tests at university class. Pascal, Berkeley p system or something with a similar name.
