I'm
looking at the manual for this thing. It was a pretty righteous
terminal in its day. Maximum transmission rate is 9600 baud. It had a
video out so you could hook up an external monitor. According to the
schematic, the biggest chip on the I/O board is a TR1402A or 1602A (it has
both numbers written on it). I have no idea what this is. But there's no
8008 in there. I think I checked it out when I first got it, and you
would've tried to get more than $10 out of me if it did I'm sure. ;)
There are several terminals made by Beehive. Mine must be a later one -
it has an 8008 in it (I am not sure what the UART is), a separate
keyboard, but no joystick. Its main claim to fame is that it has a Hebrew
character set in it as well as the normal one.
