- Re: Heathkit H29 terminal specs
-
- From the new Heathkit catalog:
-
- NEW
- The user-comfortable H/Z-29 - much more video display terminal for
- your money!
-
- Only $599.00
-
- * Emulates functions of many popular video display terminals -- and does
- even more!
- * Detached keyboard design provides greater user flexibility
- * Communicates at speeds from 75-19,200 baud, in half or full duplex
- * A non-glare 12" diagonal CRT featuring greatly-improved video attributes
-
- Affordable, state-of-the-art terminal: Here's what you get when you choose
- the H/Z-29:
-
- Full, sculptured 91-key typewriter-style keyboard: Features std.
- 128-character ASCII set and alternate character set is available with
- super/sub-scripts, Greek symbols, VT-100 graphics and more. Convenient,
- separate 14-key pad for easier entry of numberic data. Connects to tiltable
- video monitor with 8' coiled cable (included).
-
- N-key rollover to keep up with fast typists: With this feature, many keys
- can be depressed in rapid succession -- and the terminal will still process
- all keystrokes in the correct order.
-
- Auto-repeat capability: All keys except BREAK, CAPS LOCK, CONTROL, SHIFT
- and SETUP automatically repeat when held down for a second or more. With
- this time-saving feature, there's no need to press two keys to repeat the
- same keystroke.
-
- Improved video quality: The H/Z-29 features an easy-on-the-eyes 25 line x
- 80 character 12" diagonal non-glare green display -- in normal or reverse
- video, at half or full intensity. You get easy-to-read characters as large
- as 8 x 10 dots -- even on-screen underlining is provided on a per-character
- basis!
-
- The H/Z-29's cursor can be a blinking or non-blinking block or underline.
- It can also be removed from the video display screen.
-
- LED status panel: Conveniently shows the terminal's "power on," "keyboard
- lock," "off line" and "caps lock" status.
-
- Easy-to-use, English-language set-up mode: This means you don't have to
- open the H/Z-29's cabinet to configure the terminal. Replacing
- hard-to-access internal DIP switches, the set-up mode allows the user to
- configure the H/Z-29 to his unique performance parameters. Set-up
- parameters can be stored in non-volatile memory for permanent use, or the
- terminal can be temporarily configured (default parameters return on the
- next power-up).
-
- Serial port connects the H/Z-29 to other peripheral devices: A built-in EIA
- industry Standard RS-232C Serial Interface Port allows you to enhance the
- video terminal's versatility by connecting another compatible serial device.
- Communicate at data transfer speeds ranging from 75-19,200 baud (certain
- applications may require handshaking at 9,600 and 19,200 baud).
-
- Keep track of time: A 24-hour clock operates when power is supplied to the
- H/Z-29, allowing the user to keep track of real time -- or elapsed time when
- accessing a mainframe computer or time-sharing system.
-
- Can also emulate: The Lear Siegler ADM-3A and Hazeltine 1500A Video Display
- Terminals for greater versatility in educational and office environments.
- The H/Z-29 is also compatible with ANSI X3.64 and DEC VT-52 terminal
- protocol -- and has many attributes of the popular DEC VT-100 Video Display
- Terminal, including graphics.
-
- Meets Federal Communications Commission Class B Radio-Frequency Interference
- (RFI) requirements for home and business use: The H/Z-29 also meets
- applicable Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) and CSA requirements.
-
- Available in easy-build, money-saving kit form: All necessary components
- are included with the kit, and an illustrated step-by-step Heathkit assembly
- and operating manual shows you the way.
-
- Kit H-29 $599.00
- Z-29 $849.00
- Palm Rest ... : Easily installs in front of the H/Z-29 Terminal's detached
- keyboard component. $15.00
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- H/Z-29 SPECIFICATIONS: Microprocessor: 8051 eight-bit microprocessor.
- Set-up: Set-up mode can allow custom parameters to be stored in non-volatile
- memory for permanent use, or temporarily stored (default parameters return
- on the next power-up). Set-up mode can be locked by the user, preventing
- others from changing often-used parameters. Cursor: Blinking or
- non-blinking block or underline. Cursor may also be eliminated from video
- display. Tabs: Adjustable. Self-testing: Automatically performed on each
- power-up or reset. Audible Feedback: Provided for the self-test "OK"
- function, improper operation warning, key clicks and the ASCII bell
- function. Acceptable Temperature Ranges: Operating, 32 to 104 degrees F (0
- to 40 degrees C); storage, -40 to +150 degrees F (-40 to +66 degrees C).
- Acceptable Humidity Ranges: Operating, 10 to 90 percent; Storage, 0 to 95
- percent. Acceptable Altitude Ranges (above sea level): Operating, Up to
- 8,000 feet (2.4 kilometers); Storage, Up to 30,000 feet (9.1 kilometers).
- Power Requirement: 120VAC, 60Hz. Overall Dimensions: Keyboard, 3"H x 18"W x
- 7 1/4"D (7.62 x 45.72 x 18.42 cm); Video Monitor, 13 5/8"H x 15 1/8"W x 14
- 1/2"D (34.61 x 39.05 x 36.83 cm).
