The ND66 box that you have is the front end of a pulse height analyzer
used with x-ray/gamma ray/neutron etc. detectors. These beasties grab
the pulses coming from the detectors, measure their amplitude, and
increment a histogram thereby generating an energy spectrum.
The box was often hooked to a PDP11 for additional data storage and
massaging. If I remember correctly, it will run 4 different acquisition
heads and talks DDCMP over the serial port.

Did I forget to mention it has a 5.25" drive on the front near the CRT?
It would be cool to get some OS software for it, but I'm thinking it
might
be able to boot something from the onboard firmware.
I've got one of these things sitting in my basement. No documentation
or
software for it, but I have some pictures up at:
