Altos 586 system sold on eBay

[Tom Peters]

Which reminds me...

I have an ALTOS TERMINAL, with a native mode, I think, and a VT-100 
emulaton, or was it VT-220? I forget. I used it on my 11 before I gave it 
to Al. Worked very well for DEC stuff except for one game where it didn't 
respect double-high, double-wide characters exactly right. Maybe it was 
called the Altos-1. I think I even have a manual somewhere. I'd like to 
unload it, price: cheap.
