Probably from an Ontel OP-1 system in the late
70's or very early 80's.
Thanks, Tim.
The OP-1 was somewhere between a configurable terminal and a dedicated word
processor depending on firmware and peripherals
installed. Peripherals did
include 8" floppies in the high end, I saw this being used in car
dealerships back in the early 80's as the front end to a central-office
PDP-11 system.
Interesting. A terminal with 8" support.
I'm guessing your board that sits between 50-pin Shugart and 25-pin
connectors, doesn't have much smarts, it probably
just drops the many unused
signal lines and consolidates many of the grounds.
Almost sure. I shall do a set of photos and put it my website.
Thanks again. Regards.
SPc.
