Ok. Cado Computer Systems (cadovax) used to have a product called the /1. There
was a 20/1 and a 40/1. Then came the /2, then the /4, and I came in somewhere
around the /8.

Cado got bought by Contel, and is now Contel Buisness Systems, but they still
have stuff for the Cado model /2 (Do you have a 20 or 40; that number was only
the terminal model #, the n in /n referred to the number of users you could
run on one of these 8085 based beasties)
