If you want a dumb terminal, our KDT, has got to be it.  The
"terminal" is an unencoded keyboard with a shift register, and
a Ball monitor with 422/TTL level shifters.  No firmware, rom,
or processor.  They connect to an external processor that even
does the video display.  The external processor drives up to
16 KDT's.

The KDT/processor combination, however is very nice.  In addition
to a fully programmable keymap, there are 3-7 keys that are
used by the thumb.  My favorite uses one for tab, one for space,
and one for control.  The DVORAK mapping is especially nice :-).
