Strange DEC box - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

29 Mar 1999

...
 Today I salvaged a very odd looking DEC box, and I have
no idea what it
is. It is in a black metal case, with vents at the top, the external
ports look like those of a VT-100, it has Video in, Video Out, Comm, 20ma
Current Loop, and keyboard. The model number is stamped 70-17562-01, but
the Serial number is stamped N/A.

Does anyone know what this is? I suspect it is some kind of terminal, but
I'm not sure. 
I think it is the VT100 portion of a VSV11... the output of the VT100
in that box could be fed through a signal cable to the VSV11, and thus
displayed...

(If you otherwise have no need for it, I have a VSV11 without that part).
