I do have some spares and documentation for trade if needed. I wouldn't
try running more than 2 terminals on one box though. I think there were
2 terminal types - one text only(ct?, vt100 emulation) and one graphics (gt?)
Not sure if I should congratulate or pity you. Is this any relation to the
Honeywell systems that Bull bought off of Honeywell? In any case it's a
really cool sounding setup!
Well, the miniframe was an early Convergent Unix micro with some advanced
functions... like loadable device driverss.
AT&T's Unix PC (7300,3b1) were based on Convergent's work.
