IIRC, you could actaully download software from a Televideo Z80 CP/M

system for a database system, and when the computer went down, the
terminals got sold off to another business still using the same system. :(
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.

The Televideo 950 Terminal looks alot like the
DEC vt100 I once had and used with a 300 baud
(or was it 1200 baud) external modem.
TVI950 terminals are visual clones of DEC terminals, but the control codes
are not the same. I have one that came with a MIPS M-120 I was given.
