It could be a 7/32 or 8/32. There will be some custom Triad boards inside. Their systems were used in auto parts and hardware stores. Disk drives may be Hawks. The terminals were plasma screens designed in house. The printers are TI Omni 800's rebadged Triad. It looks like there are some CRT terminals on the floor. They are what I designed for them. It was my first Job out of college. I worked at Triad from 1970-1981. It would be wonderful if someone could save this stuff.

I looked at one of these systems back in the mid-80s with a Triad rep and the owners of a auto parts warehouse/jobber chain I worked for, who were considering purchasing one. I was told the hardware was based on TI 990 gear. At least that one, anyway. I wasn't able to inspect the boards, however. The terminals are an interesting design, for sure, but I dunno if they're TI. The boss eventually went with a Xenix system (Altos 3086) running another vendor's software package. The Triad certainly was an interesting beast, though. The system I saw was in Beaufort, SC. The scrapper's is in Florence. It's conceivable they are one and the same. Jobber had a store in Florence, IIRC. jbdigriz

The Multibus systems generally used Ciprico Rimfire controllers. They also made a 80mb disk system for the Lisa called the DataTower. Priam bought Vertex and survived into the 5" era The priam 519 is equivalent to the Maxtor 2190
