But, the UNUSUAL part about it was that it was designed to work from a
terminal, instead of PC style keyboard and screen. That apparently didn't

I have a booklet of schematics for a very similar kit, but I don't think the name is
"Micromint". Also, wasn't the UART something like an 8274, rather than an
8250, shared with DRAM on an ISA board?

An individual gave away one on this list a few years ago (took a minute, Rich Cini).
