One of the original UCSD Pascal team contacted me, asking if
any of my Teraks are still working. Sadly, they don't.
I seem to remember hearing on the list that someone had re-capped and
re-socketed their Terak, and that it's working.
He wants to get video of an original, working Terak to demonstrate
the UCSD Pascal menu system. He wants to show how the UCSD Pascal
menu system could've influenced Apple's menus on the Lisa.
Yes, I pointed out that you can run it under emulation.

I was confused by the original message. I have run UCSD-Pascal
on a number of systems and all of them had the same menuing
system. I imagine running Teraks are becoming a rarity. While
I could probably fake it by putting Terak boards in a real PDP-11
backplane none of my Teraks are still intact. No real Terak
monitors but they will display on a composite monitor.
On top of that, Ersaztz-11 does Terak emulation so you could
always use that if the only desire is to photograph the menus.
