Cool!
I have two in good working and cosmetic condition that
I got from a
bank some years ago, including the little panels and screws that cover
the option dip switches. I alos have docs. How many more are out there,
just on this list?
I've got an ADM-5. What a neat little terminal! I like it a lot.
I think I want to get an iMac and set them side-by-side. :)

A friend of mine was talking about that when the iMac was first released --
why the heck would Apple want to resurrect the "blue pig" form factor!!!
Anyway, add my ADM3A to the tally. Geez, I don't even remember where I
got it... And I forget why "the dumb terminal" was supposed to sound *good*.

Rumor has it that John Wilson may have mentioned these words:

IIRC, I have two ADM31's in my garage (saved 'em both for $5.00 USD) but I
haven't had a chance to check them out... but I can tell you that they are
an actual computer inside... Moto 6800 processor, Moto 6845 character
generator w/EPROM for a char. rom (which might be fun to hack) and dunno
how much memory's in there, but it could be fun to turn it into an actual
computer...
I have no manuals for them... anywhere on the 'net where I might get specs
& stuff?
Thanks,

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
