We have had an Intertec Intertube (I think the first model) since
1979. After taking out the battery (expensive and short lived) that
kept the terminal settings we have had no trouble with it.
However, we have found it very difficult to program, due, in part,
to bad (read BAD!!!) documentation and no help from the factory.
In fact we have not been able to even buy an additional copy of
the poor manual from them, much less getting additional info.
Since we are prorammers, not hardware types, that has been a bad
deficit. Would not buy another.dmimi (08/04/82)
Added note from M Clifford The terminal also lock up the keyboard and resets the status line for unknown and unpredictable reasons. It has been possible to recover without loss, but always takes time to figure out what's going on.
