Label on the back of this one was unreadable, but I can get about 50 of these if I want.

I'm assuming it's some sort of IBM dumb terminal, but any information would be appreciated.

I'm specifically hoping it's got a VGA-compatible display, it's pretty small, I would have a use for a few of these.

can you get a picture of the interface connectors?
Looks like it could be a touchscreen monitor with speakers and a microphone in the top right...

Looks a lot like the monitors for some of IBM's POS (cash register) systems but I saw none with those dimples in the bezel.

You can teach a man to fish and feed him for life, but if he can't handle sushi you must also teach him to cook.

Seems like this is one of the earliest LCD monitors. I think I'll save some of these from the junk yard if I can, I hope those proprietary connectors are still with the monitors!
