Doug -
You asked about Lee Felsenstein turning the intelligent terminal into a
computer. From an article he wrote in 1977, (found on Jim Battle's Sol site)
he stated that they were requested to design an inteligent terminal for
Popular Electronics. He had already designed the VDM board and wanted to
use it for his so-called Tom Swift terminal. He and Bob Marsh worked out
designs and Bob's used an 8080 whereas his did not. They eventually
realized that they had a whole computer, but downplayed that until after the
article was published.
