Thanks to someone on this list (sorry I can't
remember who it was) who
enlightened me that Beehive OEM'ed their terminal to Cromemco, I was
finally able to get a Beehive terminal into my collection.
Its a Cromemco 3101 terminal in excellent cosmetic condition and
amazingly enough for a Beehive design, it still works. Because of the
cosmetic condition and the Cromemco labelling, I had to pay a premium
for it on ebay, but considering that I've yet to find anyone with a
working Beehive terminal in their collection I still consider myself
lucky in being able to find one.
If it weren't for this list, I would've remained ignorant of the
Beehive connection on this terminal and probably would have passed it
by.
I have one of those too, sitting in storage, that came with my Cromemco
System 3. The only problem with it the last time I fired it up was that the
fan was a bit noisy, which I probably should take care of at some point with
a drop of oil in the bearings...
