Anyone know the story behind this? Its a small
keyboard connected to a
small thermal paper printer. It has an old 70's style phone jack
(at least the kind we used in Ontario Canada) coming out the back of the
printer. My father who found it says he thinks its one of the early
devices used by the deaf. I think it was probably just a simple
terminal.
Does this have a light brown and white motif? Keys are brown? I have a
picture of this in a data processing book I just picked up that shows a
woman typing on it. She doesn't look blind. There's also an acoustically
coupled modem attached with a phone handset plug into it.
