Richard,
How big is the unit? I've seen a coule of older Tek GPIB controllers
that were about 1 foot square and an 1 1/2" thick and I'm wondering if
that's the same as what you have. Who's GPIB card does it use?
BTW I'll see what I can track down on the terminal KB.

OK, still sifting through this big pile o' stuff
from DoveBid :-)
Some of you may recall that the lot included a PEP301 16 MHz System
Controller and I didn't know what it was. Well, its an IEEE-488
system controller built as an interface card and software combination
for a 386 PC clone. Its all branded with Tektronix logos though: main
unit, monitor and keyboard. Although there were no seals, it appears
new in box with a full set of manuals and software diskettes.
The manuals are a stock set of manuals for PC clones of the era
(GW-BASIC, MS-DOS 3.3, owner's manual for the PC) and a manual for the
Tektronix HPIB software utilities. There is this little dinky
pamphlet sort of manual for the keyboard. People seem to be selling
that online for some reason as if you need help in figuring out a
standard 101-key IBM PC keyboard?
I'll be scanning the Tektronix manual and uploading at some point and
try to make some disk images of the non-standard software bits.
