I have something very similar. Have you got a picture to post? I'll try
to get one of mine and stick it up on my website.

If I am recalling correctly, mine was apparently "manufactured" by
Livermore Data Systems, which I believe is a compnay that custom made
computer and data products for Pacific Bell back in the late 70s and early
80s in my area. I once met the guy who owned the company (and got a bunch
of computers from him :) He lives around the corner from me. It may very
well have been OEM'd from someone else.
