Does anyone recognise SIRTON?
I'm trying to trace information on the video terminal board I'm playing with, but coming up with nothing.
I've tried googling the name SIRTON and can only find a reference to a computer design and build company, although it looks like the website might not have been updated in a while I've still sent them an email. Cheers, Dave. |

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your reply, do you know anything about what these video terminals were meant to run on? I've been trying to interface this board to the computer but so far haven't managed to get anything intelligible on the display. Thanks, Dave. |

Unfortunately i'm not much further forward, I need to find out more about the way the data was encoded into the card. cheers, Dave. |
