No code, no plans… Would be nice to build a simple terminal like that, but not have to build out all the esc coding.

I think it would be cool to build one too, maybe with a max232 chip and/or esp8266. Maybe some need 640k ram; that ought to be enough.

Jokes about ram aside, since its serial/dumb terminal the max232/esp8266 would be able to interface to any unix or bbs so we’d only need to do a video output and keyboard input, maybe (and that’s a stretch) mouse/joystick input.

not sure though, any thoughts?
