It works OK when I want something really portable to go with the SBC6120 
when I show it off. Don't need the LK keyboard for that.

All the build tools for the firmware are available for UNIX systems, so 
VAXman's rather tired Windows comments don't apply there. Well, apart 
from the downloader which is trivial.

I have a couple of VT320s I was given, so that's fine for the VAXes.
