Oh, very cool.
I've never seen it before but basically it's a cheap terminal to the CDC
Plato system which was fairly popular in from the mid-1970s through the
early 1980s. Normally you had to have a fancy terminal to access all the
advanced features of Plato. This is a TI 99/4a re-branded as CDC and sold
with a terminal program carthridge to emulate a Plato terminal.
Neat.
