Dunno. IIRC it was running CP/M which I think is well out. Might go and
check later IICBA

More likely it would have been a dumb[1] terminal of some kind in plod
shop in that period anyway? DEC VT100 clone probably. We had just
started playing about with an Apple II Europlus at that time, but our
ME29 had terminals of the DEC ilk.


[1] pun intended.

Obviously not.

My problem was that I just looked at who'd received the email

listed as being on either crossing.

Just saw the first episode. Quite a few laughs and music from a period

just do the drinking without having to watch it in the first place.
