*That* would be cool. However, I've just discovered (by pulling
out the
manual to see if it describes this function) that I have a 925, not a
950.
I'd love to get my hands on one of those old
beasts. If I'm really
lucky I still have the manual for those terminals... though after my
parents moved I'm not too hopeful.
My TVI925 is looking for a good home. :) Only caveat is that the image
flickers. I believe this is because the brightnes pot is dirty and a
little shot of contact cleaner would fix the problem. Other problem is
that it's in southern Qu?bec... shipping would probably be $$$. Unless
someone wants to come pick it up?
