Yes Al, That is a green Frog! Cool! glad at least one still exists... I am in hopes there is still in one of existing in one the aux buildings here... I should display some Courier stuff.
the later model was all while and had a detachable keyboard. We had a surplus electronics dealer would try to sell them to unsuspecting college students as terminals to be used with DEC system on campus... as I remember they were for use with IBM systems. ITT ASCIISCOPE was a good old self contained ASCII terminal and modem ALL UPPER CASE... in the early 80s sold them fast as we could get them... I liked UPPER CASE TERMINALS ---- QUICKER ---LESS WORK WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SHIFT! All the electronics scrappers and the few of us that dealt in computer stuff would go to the ITT sales... One of my best things was the palate loads of power cord that were new . I bid and got and sold to Bill Godbout... - ah the early 80s! I met Bill at a computer show in san Jose as I remember run by John Craig that had the 59 el Camino ( I think I have the name right? correct me!?)) I saved I think 100 figuring that was as many as we would need for awhile... Courier also had the contract to make the first McDonalds point of order terminals all of us scrapped lots of those too.... did anyone save one? You never know what was going to be at a Courier scrap sale... tools, pcbs terminals, cable on the wood reels... This was an interesting era and the early 80s I think I hauled lots of scrap... at the end of 79 started the business with 100 bucks and an empty van. sold surplus dg and dec stuff piecemeal and some interdata and what ever I could drag in.. Once I got the HP-2000 timeshare system that was the real game changer... it put us in the hp parts biz to support our own system and then 83? 84 became HP PC dealers still sold 2000 and 1000 stuff and designed boards for them.... got into the 3000 line ... I suspect the board you have Al , if courier, with the plug in modem, was surplused after I was going to sales... all I ever got there were the while IBM ones and the green frogs.... the ASCIISCOPEs that were floating around town may have come surplus into the market but just slightly before i was going to auctions there or they were just some off lease stuff from some of the lease companies that floated into consumer circle and we would end up buying one every once in a while In a message dated 8/14/2016 2:45:35 P.M.
