Folks,
Some one in Solihull in the UK has a few terminals, including a VT420, for
sale on Facebook UK.
They appear to be complete with keyboards but otherwise as-seen.
Sadly they are in a private group so you will need to join Facebook and the
group to see them.

I don't think you can make sensible prediction. Look Apple I prices.
The last documented sale was 2010 and $30k. I would say its desirable, so if
two people fight who knows what it might get too.
On the other hand, if only one person bids it could flop. I think this is
highly unlikely

and allowed off-topic, but the level off off-topic traffic was low, so if I

Cory,
Its only recorded at around 25BPI so I don't thing it would be too hard to
decode.
Given its a character at a time, I suspect some iron filings or similar would
reveal the codes and track spacing and with a bit of luck you could find a head
that would read the data...
I am sure we used to
Whilst I am not an Atari "expert" I still own an STE and a have owned a Mega
which died and a TT which I sold.
In hardware terms there is very little difference between a Mega and an ST. As
far as I know, given the same memory, all the games work on both and they
really exercise the hardware.

Paul,
What about
Approximations for Digital Computers
Cecil Hastings Jr., Jeanne T. Wayward, and James P. Wong Jr.
Whilst its about a specific problem its not machine specific. It was
originally published as papers in 1955 and as book later, but my copy
retains its 1955 copyright.

Paul,
I assumed that was the case, but the inclusion of the Wilkes book confused
me.
I think there really is a spectrum of books, so say pre-1955 all books
assumed the reader had little knowledge of programming.
For example the MK1 guide I pointed you to is V2. Its rumoured that Turing
wrote V1
Paul,
What about machine specific manuals, so for example the Manchester MK1
programming manual, the second edition of which is archived here:-

Its been a while but Attachate software generally only needed special
hardware for stuff like 5250 twinax, 3270 co-ax, and various SDLC
connections.
This page might help check which versions support regis but they perhaps
don't go back to the really old versions...

Zane,
I have one in a VaxStation. To be honest I can't remember which Vaxstation. I
think it was the 3100/30 because it will only boot from a 1Gb or less drive and
the SCSI2SD allows a lot of different config options.
Of course, there are lots of different Vaxstations with different SCSI

IBM used the same cable on the RS6000 and these pop up on e-bay from time to
time.
You do need a monitor that will support sync-on-green
