Hello again!
So I've been messing around with the idea of building a vintage-style* terminal for with which to communicate with my other systems.
Browsing through magazine articles and the internet in general, i can't find much about this topic. Besides the TV typewriters, which seem to
require some special chips that are near impossible to find.
I've been using either a modern pc with usb->serial and a MAX232 RS232 driver, but since my usb to serial cable is actually secretly an arduino uno, it kinda kills the vintage vibe.
I'm also using a MS DOS PC from the late 90's with a terminal program, but i'd like to replace both solutions with a system i actually find interesting.
Does anyone know of any projects falling in this category? any articles or magazines? schematics?
Thanks in advance -
