both similar in formfactor to a Compaq "Portable" luggable, and IIRC
had a 9" green CRT. The TPC-II had a CGA-compatible video interface
(with a composite video jack on the back if you wanted to have color).
The TS-801 and TS-802 (well, and TS-806 and TS-816) were character-based
CP/M boxes, unlike the 803 and TPC-I, which had graphics capabilities.
Televideo had some kick-ass machines back in the day, it's a shame that
they didn't catch on very widely.

Is there any chance that someone has some user or
system
documentation for the TS-801 or TS-802 that they could make
available to me somehow?
About all I have is the User's Manual for the TS-803 (which is better
than I expected)--and some diskettes for the same.
Did you know that TVI also offered a mouse for these systems, called
the SuperMouse? That's pretty unusual for a CP/M-80 based system.
