This sounds similar to the WYSE WinTerm terminals. The

but it's about the size of a small hard cover book (your idea sounds
smaller). Keyboard, monitor and mouse are separate. These are usually
powered by powered by Windows CE. I've never used one, but they supposedly
emulate a long list of terminals.
Now, if you want to emulate the *actual* terminal (i.e., the exact on-screen
font, etc.) and no fancy windows -- just raw text in various color
combinations -- that's neat.
That's precisely what I'm after. The CPU would be the same as the one in
the terminal. FPGA provides support logic. It would be more of a
terminal re-implementation than an emulation.
