The mass storage looks to be standard DG drives.
There appears to be a large printer... what do you call it... the ones that
printed photographs and such...where the paper comes out the front and you
tear it off. I could be wrong, that's what it looks like to me.
Also, the odd looking screen? One is a standard dasher terminal, the other
is just a custom made cover for a crt and keyboard that looks like it built
it into the rack.
Hmm. It may well have been some sort of video kiosk.
If so, it would be
a very early one, and possibly quite historically significant.
I'll lay my
money on 'not'.
