Hello, Retrocomputing fans, My first full-time job in the software field was at a company called Systems Research, Inc, in Okemos, Michigan, in the U.S.A. Our company made a front-end, based upon the HP-21MX machine, which could be used on a Burroughs Medium System, and take the load of Burroughs' burdensome TD-830 terminal protocol off of the main processor. They also produced terminals which emulated the TD-830. These terminals were called the SRI Century Terminal. The software engineers managed to fit the entire code for the protocol into 7K of ROM memory. That left 1K on the ROM open. Some of us were asked to write a TTY protocol for the same machine, so it could be a dual-purpose terminal -- and to fit it into the remaining 1K. To make a long, reasonably interesting story short, we did. In the process, we wrote some of the UGLIEST code I've ever seen, including a jump into string storage, just because, if one pushed a register or two on the stack, it would get done what was needed, and save almost ten bytes. <Shudder> Anyway, I digress. I have a fondness for this example of jungle coding, and would like to obtain one of these terminals. Realistically speaking, the terminal was not a remarkable item; it was made on a standard OEM frame. It does have sentimental value to me. I've located some of my old cohorts, and none of them knows where to find one of those terminals. Burroughs ended up buying SRI, causing me, and many others, to leave, and they gave the Century their own name. Unfortunately, I don't know what that name might be. And, whatever THAT name might be, it could have been changed to another when the Unisys name took over. If anyone has any information about this machine, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
