I can scan the manual and send it to Al. It would probably be faster and 
cheaper to send it to me in Sweden... unless you really wants the  dead 
tree version of the manual.

I have added a picture of the main board of the Nokia VDU301 VT 220 
terminal to my website. The gold plated angled pin header on the top 
right side is just connected to a board with two DB25 serial ports, a 
mouse port and the keyboard connector.
The blue and red connectors to the left is the connectors for the analog 
video section and the power supply.

I've got a ton of these boards and literally a ton of complete 
terminals, anyone in need of a Nokia terminal?
