So, I'm thinking that even I can still read 132 x 40 on a 10"
diagonal screen. If a 10" LCD was the "boxtop", that gives you a 6"
x
8" form factor, inclusive of everything but the keyboard. If you wanted
to go seriously compact, use one of the fold-up Palm keyboards. Me, I
have fat fingers and would prefer a PS/2 or USB port.
Would it be practical to have some sort of removable storage - flash
drive, CF, or whatever - act as the ROM? That way one could use a VT320
with a PDP-11 and a 3153 with an RS/6000, with no more trouble than
swapping CF cards.
I don't see why not. It would start to resemble a Commodore One that way.
Hmm... Ditch the dedicated CPU and make the FPGA into whatever CPU is
needed for the particular terminal.
