CIT-101 terminals (was Re: Probe/Search TV props)

You send a (different) documented string to the terminal (typically on login), and for a quick desk clock, tap the SETUP key once to see the tab setup and a digital clock in the upper right corner of the screen. Tap SETUP again and you are back at your OS's prompt. I'm amazed to see so many references to them all at once, but I'd rank them right up there with Wyse terminals as good VT-100 clones. Somewhere, I have some paperwork for how much we (Software Results Corp) paid for them in the early 1980s, but I want to say between $1200 and $1600, *each* (the higher price may be what we paid for real DEC terminals). -ethan
