Moved into shelving:
- Nuclear Data ND600 and ND6600 terminals
Hmm, I think I have, or used to have, a board for an ND600 terminal.
I'd like to see a pic of that if you still have it. The boards *in*
the terminal are just the high voltage drive of the CRT and the
keyboard switch encoder. There really is nothing else in there. In
the rack with the ND812 are some peripheral card cages with a number
of cards in them. I'm hoping that one or more of those cards are the
interface to the terminals; I don't have any docs on the peripheral
boxes that go with the ND812.
I know that Nuclear Data provided graphical output as an option to
their machines. I'm hoping that the peripheral control boards for
these terminals provide some sort of graphics display. If so, it
would be the oldest graphics machine that I have in the collection.
I'm curious about the small thing at the bottom of
the shelf next to
this rack. A small box with a keyboard on top, what is that?
It's an RTTY terminal that uses a composite monitor for a display,
IIRC.
And finaly, what is that we se the backside of in
picture dsc_0604.jpg,
is it a lisp machine?
That's the back of an Eve (successor to the Lilith Modula-2 machine).
Now that things are roomier at the new location, I should be able to
get Jos Dreesen some pics of the boards so he can compare them to the
Lilith.
