This reminded me of something I'd love to have - a physical text/graphics terminal with a full (at least as complete as the last DECs/Boundless units) implementation of ANSI codes, as well as a good, high-resolution implementation of Sixels, ReGIS, and Tektronix graphics, smooth scrolling (but now speed-adjusted - the more backlog, the faster it scrolls), as well as terminal-side windowing for multiple terminals (as the Blit family had).

I find it interesting that when we say terminal emulator these days, we are very explicitly referring to an informal standard that is (more or less) VT100 + color + mouse + Unicode.

Oh yes. This would be a board with an MCU, HDMI output and USB input for a keyboard and, perhaps, a mouse.

Preferably a LK501 layout keyboard ;-)
