From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: arnold@skeeve.com (arnold@skeeve.com) Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2012 04:48:43 -0600 Subject: [TUHS] AT&T Blit terminal plus terminal OS In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <201210141048.q9EAmh8k025730@freefriends.org> The code for the 630 (a followon to the blit) was GPL2'ed at some point and I have it, although I don't remember where I got it. I will try to send it to Warren for addition to the archives. I used a 5620 for a while, hooked up to a BSD 4.1 Vax. The vax was overloaded so things were slow, but it was a relatively pleasant environment. The keyboard was really nice, and there are still people who pine for the 3-button round Depraz (sp?) mouse... :-) I wonder if you couldn't find some of these still on eBay or something.
