Hmm, not familiar with that terminal. Was it like the IBM terminals

That was the Super Bee, right? 8008 CPU, but I
thought the memory was
MOS shift-register, not bucket-brigade (which I mostly associate with
analog applications, such as reverb effects).
No, this predated the super bee. No
CPU at all, just about 75 TTL ICs,
the clock
drivers and the bucket brigade chips. And, yes, some versions of them were
capable of analog signals, and used to make reverbs.
