I've got a
bunch of Nuclear Data peripheral circuit boards that I need
to reverse engineer.
Why "need"? Why not wait until the appropriate docs pop out of the
woodwork? ND made a fair number of those 812 minis, so there is
probably a decent chance that eventually you can use the real deal.
I've been beating the bushes as best I know how and haven't turned up
anything except what's on bitsavers and the occasional "magazine
print" ad on ebay.
The "need" is to find out how the ND terminals are driven by this
system. If I'm right, they have some sort of graphic display, which
would make this one of my earliest graphics systems in the collection.
So if it were just for teletype output, I'd be inclined to wait
around, but since there's graphics involved, I'm trying to identify
the role of the boards sooner rather than later.
