Book, "TV Typewriter Cookbook," 1978
01
Artifact Overview
In the early years of home computing, the simple task of typing on a keyboard and having characters show up on a screen was not a natural process. Don Lancaster's TV Typewriter provided an alternative to awkward, expensive teleprinters serving as standard terminals at the time. Paired with any television, this home-built character generator became an affordable, interactive computer display.
