I got a rebadged Televideo 950 (a Stratus V101) in the ACCRC auction last year, and it has some real bad screen burn in.
I was offered (for the cost of shipping) a non-working Televideo 950 from someone in Washington state, and I thought I’d use the CRT from the 950 in the Stratus.
Now that I’ve opened up the non-working 950, I see it’s “enhanced”.
It’s got a plate on the front stating “Retro-Graphics Terminal Enhancement”, and some additional boards inside.
There’s this full size board at the side
And this half size board at the rear
There’s also some additional chips on the logic board that are sort of piggy backed.
I’ve never heard of Retro-Graphics, couldn’t find anything of use about them on the web, and am wondering what sort of enhancements these would be.
Maybe something that would store a couple of pages of screen info?
The big board on the side is labeled “Digital Engineering Inc Retro-Graphics Gen II”.
I’m now thinking maybe I should be using the Stratus as the parts terminal, to get this enhanced TV950 terminal working.
Does anyone know anything about Retro-Graphics, or have any idea what the enhancements could have been?
