Yes, I believe it is. We discussed this on the length
some time ago when
I first got this terminal and that was aour conclusion from that
discussion. I haven't done any independent research on it yet, but it
seems reasonable to me.
Sorry about that. I was either not a list member yet or I missed the
discussion.

anybody remember those?
I have one 4051 that needs some keycaps and some
electrical repair before
its functional. Also, I would like to create some sort of replacement
for the cartridge tape drive for loading software from disk image files.
That's a hardware project that's on my list.
Yes, the cartridge tapes were really nice on those units. Somewhere I've
got a few tapes with some old code on them. Good luck with all that! Really
nice unit that 4051.
