My first computer came with a Hazeltine 1000, this was older than the 
1200.  It had 80 characters wide, but I think it only was 12 lines tall, 
I cant remember that part for sure.  What I remeber for sure was that it 
was upper case only.  There was a place of the PCB for a second 
character generator rom for lower case which was not loaded.  There was 
also a switch on the front which enabled lower case for the keyboard.  
That was very confusing because sometimes I was typing in lower case, 
then when I did a search or search / replace in ed it couldn't find what 
I was searching for because it was upper case.  I didn't figure that out 
until later when I got an intertube terminal to replace the Hazeltine 1000.
