I was just looking at it this weekend. It needs a keyboard and mouse I
believe. I remember there was a guy in Texas who had a few, never heard
the full story though.
That's a PERQ 1 (or 1a, the difference is in the CPU board), The keyboard and
pointing
device for a PERQ2 series machine are very different.
The PERQ1 uses a standard Summagraphics Bit Pad 1 as the 'mouse'. It has to be
the
GPIB version, and connects to the GPIB port on the PERQ. There was going to be a
special mouse known as the 'Kriz tablet' but AFAIK it never existed.
The Kriz tablet definitely existed, I have half of one (it's the "mouse"
portion, it basically looks like a Hawley mouse without the ball). The
device is supported in the Z80 code, PERQ microcode and POS software.
