No

I think that’s the only way I will find out if there is a setup menu. I am 
beginning to think it might be a dedicated function terminal with no config 
options.
It does work as a terminal on but its not ANSI/VT. When I run EDIT on the VAX 
it goes into some graphics mode.
I have put it on to my ToDo list but don't hold your breath.

Oops. 

Yes the back has VGA, 2 x 9-pin din for serial, 1x25 pin, DIN Keyboard and Din 
light pen IEC mains in, mains out for display.
I will pop a picture up later...
... and I will try the space bar on switch on

I note that the same section mentions Jim Theornton.  I recall on a trip
to CDC ARHOPS in Arden Hills, seeing a backhoe trenching around the
employee parking lot.  The path didn't make much sense, so I asked a
co-worker about it.  "Oh, that's Jim Thornton laying his coax loop."...

'TCL' are the initials of the person who created the first Ethernet transceiver 
(Tat Lam).

He also sold the first 10mbit transceiver and repeater.

Don't know the exact product, but TCL INc. was in Fremont, CA and was a
maker of various bits of LAN gear.

you accidentally included a pic of the memorex terminal as picture 1 so there 
isn't a picture of the
back of the board. I'm assuming there is an AT keyboard connector on the TCL

try holding down the space bar on powerup

dumps of the firmware would be nice
