Probably along the
lines of many other terminal manufacturers--added a
Z80 and diskette
controller to an existing terminal chassis.
Yes it depends also on what you want to call a
computer. Most of us want to pump diskettes into it
and whatnot, but I opened up an IBM terminal some
years ago and found alot of the guts of a typical
peecee. No, it probably didn't have any provision for
connecting anything but the k/b and display, but it
just goes to show how definitions can be open to
interpretation.
I'd like to get my hands on one of those. Thought it
might be fun to see what it would take to make a full
fledged pc out of it. A new chip there...solder a few
jumpers there...;). And the thing was capable of
analog color IIRC. I don't recall their being an
intensity input.
