And an ancient terminal device. It's a keyboard with a 2" cash register type paper roll printer, an acoustic coupler at the back (yes, those foam cups that squidge over a 70s style telephone handset) and a 20 character alphanumeric (not dot matrix) vacuum-fluorescent display. All in a case the size and shape of a big ole desk calculator.
And a Macbook Pro battery for $5 (wtf?)

Dude, that terminal is awesome! I hope you can figure out what to do with it while you're sitting around basking in the cool of the black 5500.

I heard a rumor those didn't come with cache memory installed. Is that true?

I'd assume the MBP battery has carked it?

Fair enough. Pictures to come.
Dude, that terminal is awesome! I hope you can figure out what to do with it Well, first thought was of course to sell it on eBay to some collectroid. It was $5.Second thought was to yoink the VFD for some project or other.
Third thought was to try and bypass the acoustic coupler and wodge in an RS-232 port, and use it as an actual terminal.
