At first I thought it was some sort of typo, but now I have another
reference...

What the heck is an IBM System/7?
After a little looking around (thanks to the refine feature on Alta Vista,
to get comb thru all of the Mac stuff),
<www.uk.ibm.com/about/history2.html> says that it was a sensor based
system for laboratories and process control, ca. 1970.
IBMs PDP-12? This does sound interesting...

I'm kinda aiming this one at Tony, but all inputs are welcomed.
Today I picked up a G.R. Electronics Ltd "Pocket Terminal" and I am
looking for some user information on it.
The unit is about the size and shape of a pocket calculator, has 40
keys (chiclets) that cover the numerals, alphabet, and some additional
functions. It also has a coil cord extending from the side that is
terminated in a D25 male connector. Pins 2, 3, 4/20, 7, and 9 are
connected. Inside the hatch (that would cover the batteries on a
calculator) on the back is a 6 position DIP switch. The unit is
obviously powered by what ever it connects to.
Anyone know this unit?
