Tektronix CT8500 terminal -- is it an OEM'ed Tek 4024?

In article <E1TGaxg-00009I-Tm at shell.xmission.com>, Richard <legalize at xmission.com> writes: OK, looking inside what I see is a very condensed terminal implementation with absolutely no optional bits. No printer port, no optional memory upgrade, firmware on what appears to be 2 UV erasable EPROMS. While this design may have been influenced by the 4024, it appears to be it's own design. The 4024 was multiple boards plugged into a bus; the CT 8500 is a single board mounted on the inside of the rear cabinet cover. The case is really quite empty housing only the tube, high voltage board and two large transformers, presumably for the mains power supply. I did find a termcap entry for it, provided by a Tektronix employee; it doesn't seem to follow the 402x escape code sequence. Perhaps the CT 8x00 series of terminals were created entirely by the group that produced the microprocessor development systems and not by the information display systems group. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
