Cybernex APL-100 terminal
Does anyone in the group have access to documentation for the Cybernex APL-100 video terminal? All that I've been able to locate is a 4 page brochure for it; they were originally made in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have vague memories of using one of those back in my Athabasca U days. Let me ping a couple of people and see if there are remnants. --lyndon

I found this http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Electronics-Today/70s/Electronics-Today-1979-11.pdf Video Terminal The Cybernex APL -100 terminal fea- tures true overstrikes using a highly legible 9x13 dot character cell and a 1920 character 80 by 24 display with selectable 48 line, 32 character split screen mode which scrolls all 48 lines from bottom right to top left. Standard features of the APL -100 in both ASCII and APL modes include read and write cursor address, four direction cursor control, page printand printer port on/off control. The list price of the APL -100 is $1795.00 Canadian, FOB Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, (no taxes included), with delivery beginning in September, 1979. For full information on the APL -100 terminal or the 6 standard models of video terminals, contact Bruce Doug- las, V.P. Marketing, 2183 Dunwin Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, phone (416) 828-2810 or Wayne Reid in Ottawa, at (613) 741-1540. The University of Ottawa was big into APL\360 at one time. I remember the old golf ball terminals they used. Carleton U eventually got the golf ball terminals and APL terminals on their Xerox system. The 'golf ball' (2741 terminal) were still being used despite the glass TTYs being available at Carleton since no tty at that time had the APL character set. This APL-100 would have been useful to both Carleton and Ottawa U if they were still using APL when it came out ;) but I never one of these in use. The 741 exchange strikes me as being from Eastview (at the time) nowadays known as Vanier I wonder where this guy was. Probably Montreal road.
