	i too recently purchased one of these mc-10 computers
from radio shack. (cost = $49.00 at christmas time)
	my original intent was to use it for math drills with
my son. but i found out that the shack also sells a terminal
program called "compac" for $29.00 so i thought i would give it
a try. it is a simple 'dumb terminal' program but is really
quite good. it can run at 110, 300, or 1200 baud. i tried all
three and they worked flawlessly. also it has a feature to store
all incoming info so you can look back at was has already scrolled off the screen.
this feature stores about 2 pages with the built in 4k ram and
up to about 20 pages if you have the additional 16k ram pack.
	so has a cheap portable terminal i think it is great !!
but i can't get my kid to let me borrow it !!!!!!
