Rescued, an A.D.D.S Regent 25? Unix terminal from 1980, need help please :o)
Hi all
I was at work the other day and had my regular look inside the room where computers go to die. To my amazement, near the
bottom of the pile, mostly buried, was an old computer, which turned out to be a working Aquired Digital Data Services
Regent 25 (not sure if it is a 25 or another). Anyway, after help from the YouTube community, I am finally getting the
parts needed to wire it up to the laptop and run an emulated bsd to get it working as a terminal. The problem I still face
is that I have absolutely no technical data / user manuals for the system. If anybody could help in this area, it would be
most appreciated.
I have created both a video on YouTube about the system but as this is my first post, can't post the link so just search "Rescued adds regent" on YouTube and it should come up (2nd video down)
)
Any help appreciated,
Steve
