I was confused by the original message.  I have run UCSD-Pascal
on a number of systems and all of them had the same menuing
system.  I imagine running Teraks are becoming a rarity.  While
I could probably fake it by putting Terak boards in a real PDP-11
backplane none of my Teraks are still intact.  No real Terak
monitors but they will display on a composite monitor.

On top of that, Ersaztz-11 does Terak emulation so you could
always use that if the only desire is to photograph the menus.
