However, I opened the case and was very surprised with what I found inside the terminal. Its basically an empty box! The most recent date code we could find was late 1978 and that was on some logic chips on the keyboard assembly. As near as I can tell, the keyboard is the smartest thing in the enclosure :-). There is a long ribbon cable coming from the keyboard and the video section is wired to what looks like an RS-232 connector on the rear (obviously it is not RS-232, but it is one of those DB-25 style connectors). My guess is that the main Nuclear Data box generates video and receives either parallel or serial keycodes from the keyboard. So, in order to get this terminal working I'm obviously going to need the rest of the system... -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>

Hi Richard, I saved such a system several years ago from being scrapped at my university ( not the console, unfortunately). Unfortunately, I didn't have time yet to check, wether it works or not. But I have the documentation accessible for you, if it might help regarding any specific questions.

I'll upload some pics this week. However, while I was packing up the stuff I bought at the vendor's store, I saw that he had the rest of the system and not just the one terminal. Looks like a couple other terminals, some characteristically PDP-11 enclosure boxes (2x floppies, some other stuff, power enclosure). It looks like this stuff was meant to be rack mounted, except for the terminals, because there's no typical DEC enclosure like I would expect. Googling doesn't turn up anything useful except the usual firewalled citations from IEEE and ACM journals containing product announcements. Does anyone know more about these systems? From the descriptions that leak through google, it appears that it might have had some graphics capability and that interests me quite a bit. I couldn't look at the system close up because it was on a huge pile of stuff and I didn't have time to dig it out. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
