Since we're talking about Televideo terminals here, I think I'll pipe up with my
situation.
I have a Televideo TS-800A workstation, wihch IIRC is basically a TVI-950 with a
daughterboard containing
a Z-80 CPU and an RS-422 serial interface for a floppy disk. Apparently this "dumb
terminal" could also
run CP/M for some basic tasks.(?)
Unfortunately, I too do not have the manuals for it. It's been a while since I played
with it, but I
think I was able to set the serial line parameters (baud rate, word length, parity, stop
bits). I
remember connecting it to the RS-232 port on the back of a PC running a VT-100 emulator
and I was able to
type text across both ways.
Does anyone here know where I can find some documentation on this terminal (setup, escape
sequences, etc)
so I can do more than just type "hello world" on this thing? I'd also like
to try out the Z-80
daughterboard, but I don't know if I need to first find an RS-422 floppy disk drive,
or if the terminal
can download it's bootstrap code and OS right off the serial cable.

Can anyone give me information on operating these machines, or point

If you give Google the name of the terminal and tell it you're feeling
lucky, you will be.

Sorry, I know nothing about the terminal server. Have you tried changing
the baud rate on the terminal?
