Once upon a time....
There were a bunch of these in the early hobby channel,
say, around 1981... the seller had complete instructions
for interfacing them, and included some rudimentary code
for using overstrikes to simulate characters bot available
in its 5-level (Murray?) coding scheme.
They were going for $150 at the time, and I still could
kick myself for not grabbing one, they looked pretty cool.
Anyone got a garage full of them?

Reminds me of the guy who went to an audition and was asked by the band
leader if he could read music.
He replied, "Not enough to screw up my playing."
Also reminds me of "programmers" who can "write code" but seem unable to
read other people's code. Has anyone else had this experience? I run into
this sort of person all the time . . .
