Oh, interesting...how does it boot? Server in ROM or loaded via tftp,
etc.?
Yes, that sounds more of the period :-).

I have an idea this thing is running X10, not X11... Yes. I have something that calls itself an
'Ultra-X', I assume it's some
fairly early X-terminal. [...]
I don't think its so early; the earliest X terminals used custom
monitor, mouse and keyboard connections. They didn't start using standard
VGA/PS2 style connections until the mid to late 90s. By this
It's not PS/2. It's a AT-style 5 pin DIN for the keyboard and an RS232
serial mouse (I think either Logitec or Microsoft).
