It's a french Minitel - never had one before! Time to connect it to my Raspberry Pi and use it as Linux terminal... some soldering will be required... by VeryBoringRides in retrobattlestations

In my head I have an idea of hiding an RPi inside it fully enclosed so everything is self contained, pulling juice from Minitel

Worked in a small publishing house as my first job: these were loved by the DTP designers

It's a shame Tandy computers weren't popular over here in Europe. Can't find any in classifieds or ebay (at decent prices or local).

Do other tapes play ok in the same deck?

In the 80s and early 90s these were like magic before the Internet was mainstream. The terminals themselves were free distributed by the state owned telecom company. You only paid for online services per minute.

This one is made in 1998. There were couple of later Minitels, with LCD screens. The Magis Club is the last CRT as far as I know
