Subject: TeleVideo's MmmOST

I've been adding a few more blog posts, and put up the first one on what
(to me) makes TeleVideo actually interesting - their MmmOST client/server
operating system.  I hope to get more up soon, but I have a (somewhat
lengthy) introduction based on what I've been able to learn about MmmOST:

I'm still looking for TS-800A's and TS-806/816's if anyone has some laying
around.  It'd be informative to get a real MmmOST service processor up and
running.
