Warning, I don't think that this is something
you're going to use without
a system like a VAX-11/780 to connect it to. As I recall it was connected
to the controller board in the VAX via a fibre optic cable.
Well a friend has one in his lab, and he reports using it but he
didn't specify what was on the other end of the conversation with the
terminal. I'll ask him about it.
I remember seeing one of these around 1980 and we were a PDP-11 shop,
so if it could *only* be connected to a VAX I don't know what we were
doing with one.
