Need Help ID'ing this computer.

I have found this computer in an estate sale but don't know what it is. The gentleman worked for NCR. I do know it is an ADDS.

It's not a computer, it's a remote terminal for a computer.

Do you know what computer it is a terminal for? Mentor 2000?

 

[Druid6900]

Well, it can be used on any computer that it has protocols to interface with. You could even hook it up to a current computer if it has a serial port or a USB to serial adapter.

It's got some pretty interesting ports on the back. Does that one say "cassette"?

It looks very much like the ADDS 880 (I think it was an 880) "micro" that our Honeywell H61/60 used to have as a communications controller, but without the cassette tape. However I note the that it does have a cassette port on the back.

I wonder if it is a termianl implemented by a micro. These were very common at one time.

I see nothing.

Looks like an ADDS Consul type of thing. See here:

3/4 way down the page are some pictures.


Anyway, really neat styling! Same shaping as Intertec Superbrain.

Nicest retro-type thing I have similar to this is an ADM5.

It is a video data terminal and the style looks like 1970's era. ADDS shows in Manta as an active company, you might try a call to them using the info I copied from the Manta page:

I like the Made in USA part on the back - I miss seeing that.

Doesn't anyone remember when the ADDS Viewpoint was the hottest budget terminal around? I'm surprised if not. I still have my Viewpoint manual somewhere.
