Subject: Tektronics Emulation for Z29
[]
I am interested in an emulation of a Tektronic 4010 for a Zenith Z29. I
have seen two ads for these: 1) Graphics-Plus GP-29 ( I think its in the
"Real Soon" stage) 2) Cleveland Codonics Cdn-1220. The Codonics board
sounds good. A while back Jerry Pournelle mentioned it in BYTE. All He
said was that it looked good in a show.
If anybody out there is has used one, what I want to know is: Is it easy to
use? Can you clear the screen easily? How well does the interface to an
Epson (or look-a-like) Dot-matrix printer work? Does it ever lock the
keyboard up?
Thanks
