This main page should provide a guide into the rest of the content.
Model Template
Pages for terminal models should contain an infobox on the right that contains a standard set of items:
- canonical photo
- model name
- manufacturer name
- terminfo name
- date offered
- date discontinued
- communication options: serial, ethernet, polled, etc.
- operating baud rates, if serial
- range of displayable characters
- size of display memory (24 lines by 80 columns, 66 lines by 80 columns, etc.)
- size of character cell matrix (7x9, etc.), supports half-pixel shift
- supports a forms/block mode
- supports line drawing character set
- supports custom character set
- half/full duplex
- video attributes: underline, inverse, bold, half bright, blink
- color text
- personalities: i.e. emulates vt52, vt100, 4010, etc., linked to pages emulated
- graphics resolution, i.e. 640x480
- graphics color resolution
- bit depth of color specifications
- number of colors on screen
- number of colors in palette
- depth of frame buffer, i.e. number of bitplanes
- print technology (thermal, dot matrix, type ball, daisy wheel, type hammer)
- print dot density (thermal, dot matrix)
- display technology: dvst, vector crt, raster crt, shaped beam
manx
For documentation that is listed in manx, include a link to the details page for the documentation in manx. (These URLs are permanent and don't change.) This is allows you to link to documents that are known to exist but aren't online. For documents that are online, it allows you to choose a mirror for the document, if any.
For an example, see Hazeltine 1500
BitSavers
Include links to documentation present on bitsavers, but not in manx, as bulleted list inside a section. Eventually everything should transition to manx.
For an example, see Lear Siegler ADM-3A
