[TUHS] AT&T Blit terminal plus terminal OS

[arnold at skeeve.com]

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.
