Very cool. Got it working. It's a clever device that sits between the terminal and computer. It simply bidirectionally and transparently passes characters terminal <--> computer, but can pattern-match text from the computer and send text to the computer in response. I'm so advanced here, I don't even have to type in the date and time, a MACHINE does it for me! Imagine the time savings! [booting the disk from the virtual console] !100033L FILENAME?
