This reminded me of another device I have. It calles
itself an
'InterView'. I forget who made it, maybe Trend. It's clearly
some kind of protocol analyser. Alas it was dropped by an
idiot long before I got it. The result is that the card cage
is distorted (but the PCBs are all intact), the CRT has left
its tension band (which scares the heck out of me!), and the
cartridge tape drive (DC100-size tapes) is in many bits.
Another project for a rainy day...
The Interview 7000 manuals on the shelf say Atlantic Research
Coporation on the back. The Interview 8000 manual says Telenex
on the spine (the back says Telenex. AR Test Systems - I assume
a new division was bornized somewhere along the line ...).
I don't recall whether it is a 7000 or 8000 (or both!) I have
in storage, but neither had been dropped when last I looked.
I don't think I ever used them in anger - mostly I used
the HP 4xxx protocol analysers (and now I have one or more
of those in storage too - I don't recall if they are TU58
variants or 3.5" drive variants ...)
