old NCR tower 32 with an ADDS terminal running a unix version 020102
Without knowing more about it than this, I would say you are out of luck.
NCR ran a type of UNIX called Xenix. I could not find a version 020102 - but did find version 3 was available in 1993. No other information was available except for it's little part in history. For that is what you have, a piece of history.

Try this - put a printer on the console so that it prints out anything that goes to console (the ADDS terminal). Once you get that working, then maybe you can gather more info on the exact UNIX you are running (it may not be Xenix) and then maybe one of the really experienced folks can help (I can always call my Dad - he may have worked on one of those types of systems back in the day (he's a relic too). He has a Commodore 64 at home which he still enjoys programming.

Got root? This may help - hard to say if it will really work for you.
