WYSE ring a bell to anyone? But the biggest enigma is an
Wyse terminals are fairly well-known, and I think they sold a PC clone at
one point.
Actually several PC clones from 8088 up through at least the 80386. IIRC
some of the later ones were quite stylish with diagonally-mounted LCDs
(date, time, etc.).
The later PCs and terminals used an RJ-11 (phone) connector for the
keyboard cable. AS I recall, though, it was easily adaptable to an IBM
AT connector. I believe the keyboards were interchangable between the PCs
and terminals.
The terminals are very popular in the used market since many vertical
applications are written for them. My former employer actually managed to
get something like $75 a piece from a reseller.
