I am considering buying a classic pc.  The one I might buy is the intellec 
mds 800.  It comes with a drive also.  I dont know much about vintage pc's 
but would love to be like you all.  I thought starting with one of the best 
pc's would be good.  So my question is, if I were to buy this pc, what type 
of monitor/keyboard do I hook up to it?  Where can I get one?

I think I need a tty serial monitor/keyboard.  (Thats what I read online, 
what does that mean?)  Is the ebay below a terminal that will work on the 
this intellec?

Or do I have to buy a vintage one like this:

I want to test this intellec before I buy it and want a monitor/keyboard to 
hook up to it before I buy it.

I also dont want to spend alot for the monitor/keyboard since the pc is 
quite costly.

Thanks for your advice,
Andy

ps, if I buy this intellec, what can I do with it?
