I recently went looking for a serial terminal for various hobby reasons, and
soon discovered that actual serial terminals can be quite expensive, even old,
crusty ones.

I came across this on Tindie, and decided to give it a try. It looks like it's
pretty flexible, to the point I can probably easily attach it to the case on a
low-res LCD display for a zero footprint serial terminal. It uses a PS/2
keyboard and a VGA monitor.

It's a bit pricey at $52 + $10 shipping, but if it works as good as everyone
of the reviews says, it's a bargain.

Thoughts?
