When I was an undergraduate at Cambridge University (1985-1988) they were still using (somewhat later) Newbury terminals on the mainframe. Due to the metal cases they were often known as 'biscuit tins'. I rescued one when they were being cleared out, I probably still have it somewhere. It has a separate keyboard (just an array of switches) and I think has a VT131-like editing mode (probably totall different commands though). I remember inside there's a monitor PCB on the back of the upper part of the case and one or two boards full of logic. Probably a microprocessor in there, and quite a bit of TTL. I remember some 74181 ALUs (of all things!) -tony
