It looks like a calculator but its a 1977 Pocket Terminal made by G.R Electronics. Now restored and repaired having changed the 4N25 opto-isolator. It is shown here connected in "loopback".

⌨️📺 The DEC VT100 is a historically significant computer terminal. It was available in Slovenia under the name KOPA d.d. 1000. We obtained our specimen in 2006, and it is in working condition, but it lacked a keyboard. Now we've tracked one down and hope to try it out soon! 💪

1991 A computer with a keyboard and a screen

This image showcases a modern personal computer setup in an indoor setting, potentially an office environment due to the presence of office equipment.
The computer is a prominent piece of electronics, equipped with both an input and output device - a computer keyboard and a screen, respectively.
The keyboard complete with a space bar is an essential piece of computer hardware used for text input.
Similarly, the screen or display device is a crucial component that outputs multimedia content.
These components are connected to the computer terminal, making them key peripherals in the personal computer hardware setup.
This gadget is a testament to the advancement of electronic devices.

🦕🖥️ The Lear Siegler ADM-3A terminal (1976) looks like it's straight out of The Flintstones 😃 We received it 12 years ago from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, and it dates back to the times before the influential VT100 terminal.

The computer-terminal dynamically-redefined-character-set (DRCS) technology could be used to create sprites.

I.e. the spites would be part of the soft-character-set.

And it could be extended to support other file data formats besides just sixels.

(The computer-terminal dynamically‐redefined‐character‐set (DRCS) technology is similar in idea of a unicode private‐use‐area.)

Xe probably could have fixed the shell prompt, sudo, and grotty problems with a little more work.

sudo is down to controlling terminals and sessions. The shell prompt is down to Readline configuration, and possibly prompt strings; and alas just assuming things without checking the terminal type.

grotty is almost certainly colours being forced on, somewhere. (Sad to say, too many people think that VT102s had colour.)

Ah, the days when boards just slotted in and could be slid out without having to remove half a dozen other components in the way!

#TechTangents has taken apart a TeleVideo 950.

When did you last see a manual whose first instructions showed how to disassemble the product in order to repair it?

An important thing about many is that — a lot of them (probably most) could only display text!, and only in a single color!

(Although I suppose it is 2 colors, if you also count the dark color of the screen.)

(And also, the 1 color of different Computer Terminals could be a different color from each other.)

So the Computer Terminal world was very monochromatic & text oriented!

Back in the 1990s it was not uncommon to still see Computer Terminals in use.

A kind of looks like a computer; but they aren't computers.

You can kind of think of them as a combined monitor & keyboard.

They connected to a computer located somewhere else.

Sometimes many Computer Terminals connected to the same computer.
