IDing WYSE terminal

Thank you everyone for your help.

It looks like from pictures I am able to find (or was sent links to) that
it is indeed a Wyse 60. I think the tell tale part is the contrast slider
on the front bottom right of the screen (and the matching ID plate on the
left side).

So now I am on the hunt for a cheap replacement (looks like ebay has them
around $40), where I will open it, and see if the daughter card is
installed, if not, I will transfer mine.

I also have a lead on a wyse 60 emulator to keep on the back burner for
when my replacement terminal dies too.


Alas, I am still stuck on the Qume one, but at least I know what Qume it
is, and that one isn't half as important to me, as I can interface with
that phone system thru a programmers back door running an old copy of
ProComm Plus, so if the terminal never gets replaced, the receptionist
just has nothing cool to look at during the day.


And the #1 thing I learned from all this... when taking digital pictures,
don't put your $2000 DV Camcorder down on something without verifying
that it is stable and won't tip over (I caught the camera mid fall
thankfully... now I am out looking for the cheapest, crappy digital
camera I can find, so I can return my good camcorder to its bag and use
it only when shooting movies like it was intended)
