Televideo Terminal Emulators for the Macintosh


As of May 1989, the only Televideo terminal emulation packages for the
Macintosh are for the Televideo 950 and the Televideo 925. The
Televideo 924 was not in evidence. Palantir's "InTalk" package for 925
emulation did not work.

However, if you need to log onto a Honeywell host that requires the
Televideo 924, you can use the Telescape programmable terminal emulation
package, you can program in the escape sequences for the 924. The
emulation works fine except for one thing: Telescape has no facilities for
video attributes, such as half-bright, colors, blinking, underlines, and so
on.

Telescape uses the standard Macintosh two-bit video display. This setup
makes programming intensity and color impossible. Supposedly, the package
supports underlines, but not flashing characters. Intensity and color are
available on the Macintosh II display, but new software will have to be
written specifically for the system.
