Looks like a self-contained terminal in a keyboard with a composite
video out (or rf?). Very odd looking for me and I dont recall seeing a
lot of these things way back. I have not tested it yet but if anybody is
interested, Ill take a picture and post the link here.
The thing has a flat cable with a db25 sticking out from it. Its just
slightly thicker than an "ordinary" keyboard...
It's basically the keyboard and logic for a CRT terminal. You just hook
it up to a TV or a compatible video display and you've got yourself a
terminal. The DB25 of course goes off to whatever machine you are
connecting to.
I've got one of these in the box. You could buy it assembled or as a kit.
