Since we're talking about Televideo terminals here, I think I'll pipe up with my situation.
I have a Televideo TS-800A workstation, wihch IIRC is basically a TVI-950 with a daughterboard containing
a Z-80 CPU and an RS-422 serial interface for a floppy disk. Apparently this "dumb terminal" could also
run CP/M for some basic tasks.(?)
Unfortunately, I too do not have the manuals for it. It's been a while since I played with it, but I
think I was able to set the serial line parameters (baud rate, word length, parity, stop bits). I
remember connecting it to the RS-232 port on the back of a PC running a VT-100 emulator and I was able to
type text across both ways.
Does anyone here know where I can find some documentation on this terminal (setup, escape sequences, etc)
so I can do more than just type "hello world" on this thing? I'd also like to try out the Z-80
daughterboard, but I don't know if I need to first find an RS-422 floppy disk drive, or if the terminal
can download it's bootstrap code and OS right off the serial cable.
