While digging through a local estate sale yesterday,
I found an unknown
(to me), unmarked system. From what I know of the late owner,
the system
may be related to the aircraft industry, as many of his tools and bits and
bobs were from Boeing surplus.
As for the unit itself, it is a yellow desk, with a
tinted glass
slide-down screen, a complex keyboard. It had two Canon 5.25"
floppy
drives mounted behind the screen, next to a USi Pi3 amber monitor.
<snip>
Others may have said something similar, but here is my 2 cents....The USi
Pi3 monitor was sold as a package by Protecto along with the liquidated
Commdore B-128 computers in the mid 80's. They bought the remaining stock.
Assuming the monitor came with the terminal, one could deduce that this
smart terminal is also from the mid 80's as well.
