Folks,
While sorting through my pile of 3270 terminals I came across a little
plastic box with 2 x 9-pin rs232, 1x25pin printer port and one VGA port. On
taking the lid off it seems it's a terminal for NYCE made by TCL but I can
find no info on the net.
I put a few pics of it here:-

I can't seem to get into ant set-up menus, and I am sure it used to show
these, Does any one have any documents on these?
Searching on google is hampered by the fact there is a TCL language.

you accidentally included a pic of the memorex terminal as picture 1 so there isn't a
picture of the
back of the board. I'm assuming there is an AT keyboard connector on the TCL

try holding down the space bar on powerup
dumps of the firmware would be nice

Don't know the exact product, but TCL INc. was in Fremont, CA and was a
maker of various bits of LAN gear.

'TCL' are the initials of the person who created the first Ethernet transceiver
(Tat Lam).

He also sold the first 10mbit transceiver and repeater.

I note that the same section mentions Jim Theornton. I recall on a trip
to CDC ARHOPS in Arden Hills, seeing a backhoe trenching around the
employee parking lot. The path didn't make much sense, so I asked a
co-worker about it. "Oh, that's Jim Thornton laying his coax loop."...

Oops.
Yes the back has VGA, 2 x 9-pin din for serial, 1x25 pin, DIN Keyboard and Din light pen
IEC mains in, mains out for display.
I will pop a picture up later...
... and I will try the space bar on switch on

I think that?s the only way I will find out if there is a setup menu. I am beginning to
think it might be a dedicated function terminal with no config options.
It does work as a terminal on but its not ANSI/VT. When I run EDIT on the VAX it goes into
some graphics mode.
I have put it on to my ToDo list but don't hold your breath.
