A bunch of
terminal looking things came into a scrap yard this week, and
very little makes sense about them. The boxes have Motorola 88100 20 mhz
chips in them, but I don't remember any floppy or hard drives. The monitors
are 5 BNC connections with the name NCD on them (some 17" some about 20")
and on the back the manufacturer is listed as something like INY. Any ideas
what they are? Network connection is selectible 10b2 or AUI.
I'd guess
they're X-Terminals. Though apparently at least some NCD
terminals can function as either an X-Terminal or a normal terminal.
