This is a joint project between myself (username Legalize),
Jason T (username Silent700) and Ian Primus (username Sark).
I am the wiki administrator.
My intention was to create a single reference site for everything we
can find about terminals.
Neat... got me all nostalgic for the NCD19's that were scattered around all
over the place at uni. I loved those things - the displays were so crisp on
them.
Oh, we also had quite a number of TA Alphatronic and BBC micro machines
which had long since become too long in the tooth for general-purpose
computing, but for which someone 'local' had written custom firmware to
turn them into dedicated text-mode terminals - I'm not sure how common that
practice was amongst educational establishments. The Alpha's keyboard was
truly dreadful to type on, but the BBC's wasn't too bad.
