I've powered it up and connected it to the VGA Video converter unit - it beeps on startup but I don't get any video. I'll try it with a b&w monitor in the next few days.
Re: the software, I can see two ROMs labelled 1.07 next to each other and one labelled 1.08(or 9?) next to those two. The unit's serial number is 50192.
I see it has an internal modem and no Serial port connector. I had a naive hope of connecting it to my PiDP-8 - I'm guessing there's no easy way of putting a serial port in it?
Also, you wouldn't happen to have any spare TeleTerm cardboard boxes would you?

You should get video out with the VGA video converter set up the same way as for the Premium+ etc., so something is amiss there.

It sounds like you have the final release of the roms.

You can disconnect the internal modem which is connected to the standard serial port internally and bring out the connector.
I'm sure I can generate a spare box for you. That one did look pretty shabby.
