DigiBarn has a few pictures of a PERQ 1 and a T2:

Yep, the 1 is out, and one of the other two is a T2 like the picture.
There's the rarer PERQ 2, which I have a picture
of here:
Hm. The other one does not look like that, it is similar in shape to the
T2 but it's a different shape and says ICL on the front. I grabbed both
of the front panels because they were accessible, will post pics in a bit.
If you pull the side, front, and rear panels off (be
careful there --
the drives are mounted to the rear, and there are cables to deal with),
and pull the boards, it should be significantly lighter.
Ok. Next time I go over I'll see if I can at least uncover one. Maybe I
can stack the Sun gear where the Perq1 was.
Sounds like the newer-style portrait monitor for the
PERQ 2 to me.
Yeah, it reminded me of that 66 line terminal people had in the early
80's. It was up and down, not side to side, were the other monitors
landscape only?
And a big DB style plug to go into the computer.
It varies.? See the Digibarn T2 pictures for one
example; the
Summagraphics Bit Pad One was another common option -- big white tablet
about 15" square with a 4-button wired puck.? GPIB interface.? There was
also the Kriz tablet which was smaller and had three buttons.
Ok, there are a lot of junk sun keyboards and mice in there and it's a
mess with all the general crud. What does the plug going to the Perq
look like? Are they optical or mechanical?
Looking forward to pictures!
I'll post some in a bit. Not very good ones, but best we can do.
