Several computer stores in the San Francisco Bay Area have suddenly gotten a
shipment of this terminal, and are willing to part with it for fairly cheaply
(one place asked $600, another "make me an offer"). It has a detached
keyboard, a substantial metal case, thumb-wheel selection of baud rate,
switches on the back for parity and duplex, (I hate using dip-switches to set
terminal parameters so that's a win), and a sparse manual that doesn't
indicate too many firmware features: direct cursor addressing, clear to end of
line, clear screen, and reverse video seem to be about it. Anyone heard of
this thing, any comments, if it breaks is there anyplace on earth to get it
fixed? Where did they come from, I wonder?
