I've recently added a fairly old (197x?) ADDS Viewpoint to my collection
of computer "stuff" (my wife uses a stronger term!) and need some help
figuring out the DIP switches that control the configuration. I can't
find a model number anywhere on the unit, but I know it's old becauste
there are stickers on the logic board indicating it was rebuilt in 1981.
It's a basic detached-keyboard, RS-232, white phospor monitor terminal,
with two female DB-25 connectors, a handset plug for the keyboard, a
contrast control, and a power switch on the back. There are two DIP
switches that configure it, S1 which is accessable through a hole in the
back of the case, and S2 inside on the logic board. I've figured out that
elements 1-3 of S1 control baud rate, S6 controls half/full duplex, and
that some of the switches on S2 control things like reverse video, cursor
blink, and cursor type. If anyone has a manual that describes the full
set of DIP settings, I'd appreciate an e-mailing of what they are, to
save me a lot of trial-and-error experimentation. 
   Thanks.....
