We had hundreds of those VIP screen-mode terminals connected to a Honeywell
DPS-8 in Cambridge. The big blue box had a synchronous RS-232 port to
connect to a multi-drop synchronous modem and eventually to the Datanet
front-end processor. The serial protocol was special for the VIP. There
were two COAX cables from the big blue box to the terminal, one for the
keyboard and one for video. Some of the really old versions had mercury
delay lines for the video memory.

Is it sitting on something, or is the base part of it?
If the base isn't part of it, it reminds me of the TEMPEST terminals from
Honeywell that I used on a DPS-8.
