|
|||
|
|
hardware or software limitations, behaves like a teletype or some other
|
|||
|
|
printing terminal, thereby combining the disadvantages of both: like a
|
|||
|
|
printing terminal, it can't do fancy display hacks, and like a display
|
|||
|
|
terminal, it doesn't produce hard copy. An example is the early
|
|||
|
|
‘dumb’ version of Lear-Siegler ADM 3 (without cursor control).
