You can find PC keyboards with 8048/9 or 8051 and put a
reporgramed MPU
in. The reprogram can be done one of two ways, disable the internal rom
and piggy back a LS373 and 2716 or use the 87xx eprom part.
I used a real keyboard once -- Pc's don't have real keyboards -- you
type with the mouse :D
An those small B&W TVs are very modifyable, though
at 5" 80char lines are
going to be tiny. There's at least one person out there that did it.
Or find a old HERC compatable (9pin) monochrome PC display even when
not working they are easy to fix.
I think a B&W VGA is what I want. Next years project ... 25x96 serial
terminal :)
Wait a moment -- VGA's are only 640 x 480 , I want 864 x 480 !
