Okay, the Minitel 1 is connecting to the PiDP8-i as a terminal. That wasn't something I was expecting to figure out before lunchtime.#pdp8 #pidp8i #raspberrypi #minitel #retrocomputing

@driftofsignifieds There are several services I can connect to, including one that has Hamurabi, and another that give current weather information, not just in France but worldwide.I expect everyone will be using services like this by the year 2000.

@iotar One day I might see if an old Minitel turns up at a vide grenier, though they're probably too high on the retro desirables list now.

@driftofsignifieds The guy from Etsy who sent me this one suggested that they tend to turn up pretty often.

@iotar A quick gander online showed quite a few going from 30-80€, so that seems about right.

@driftofsignifieds @iotar That is a very appealing idea. Set up a Minitel as a terminal specifically for accessing SDF.Of course I'd have to learn to use a French keyboard.
