At one
time you could get a software package to turn your PC
into a NAPLPS display device. Here in Canada you could get
NAPLPS display terminals but they were as slow as hell.
They also stuck to TV output resolution - 256 color 320 x 200.
1200 baud download / 300 baud upload I belive.
So how different is a GIGI from something like a
VT340+? I must
confess I lust after a VT340+. Not that I have room for one :^( I
don't have any terminals that support REGIS, and really wish I did.
I found that Manx has gobs of docs for gigi, so you could read the
Installation and Owner's Manual in PDF format.
Speaking of serial graphics protocols, does anyone on the list have a
device that supports NAPLPS ("nap-lips" - North American Presentation
Layer Protocol Syntax)? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAPLPS>
There is mention of a "Sceptre NAPLPS terminal from AT&T".
