Looks interesting, although I've never seen
one in person. An
interesting feature is that it provides an escape sequence to
download 8085 binary code directly into the terminal (as ASCII hex
digit sequences). I'm wondering what it would take to load a space
invaders game into it :-).
I don't think that was at all unusual. When I did the mono terminal
for Fortune, they requested the feature so they could do QA on the
terminal without opening it up. Wrote a bunch of diagnostics that
were downloaded as part of the manufacturing process. Basically, an
Intel hex binary file with each record prefixed by an (undocumented)
escape sequence.
