Ah yes, I remember them well.   The 990 mini's and the 980 mini's.
 I used both of these when I worked at TI in Houston (Stafford actually).
 I worked at HFAB (Bipolar 4 then).  The 990's and the 914 dumb terminals
 and the 911 smart terminals.  It does bring back memories.

                                              Regards,

                                               Jim
