[GreenKeys] Xitex video terminal

[Dino Papas]

Believe it or not I actually have one of these sitting in the closet as well.  Now here's the cool (or dumb as the case may be) story.....I built this thing up and used it for a short time on RTTY before building a RTTY I/O for my Apple II.  I then sold the Xitex box I'd built at a hamfest....several years later at another hamfest what did i run across?  You guessed it, a guy selling my box....I just had to have it back!  So, there it sits in the closet waiting for a day when I need a retro project to work on.
