Hi,
I've been creating 'guides' on ebay for various terminals. I'd
apprecaite any feedback you might have. Please understand that the
manufacturer guides are "works in progress". Its pretty limiting to
have only 10 pictures per guide...

I used to install Beehive terminals when I was with Western Union. In fact, I clearly
remember installing a couple for UC Berkeley's Division of Library Automation, and a
couple more at CSU Hayward. They were quite popular with OCLC (Ohio College Library
Catalog), an organization that, apparently, had a deep impression on the formation of the
first end-user friendly computer-based library catalogs.
And yes, they did have frequent failures. One of the more common was to lose the high
voltage section to arcing.
I didn't know about these 'guides' until you posted. Neat idea! Methinks I
need to write a few.
Thanks for the effort.
