modern serial terminal

This talk about an FPGS style terminal sounds neat, but... How about a set of EPROMS that will fit into an XT, or AT motherboard that in combination with standard I/O cards (serial port, CGA video) and will emulate a standard terminal on power on. Obviously this would require input from the keyboard and proper coding of the video display memory. I suspect that very little ram memory would be needed (alternate pages or scrolling memory). Given that smallish older XT motherboards exist with other "surplus" parts, this could be an interesting exercise. For extra credit, add a network interface to make a telnet terminal. While this may not exactly fit the bill, it could possibly fall into the "classic" category, expecially if one uses an old XT motherboard and say 256k bytes of memory (8/9 256k x 1 chips, it was before SIMMs). Just a thought.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
