Boundless “Littlefoot” text terminals now feature enhanced 126-column display
for use with LCD monitors
August 19, 2011 - In response to market demand,
Boundless Technologies has updated its Littlefoot text
terminals with enhanced support for LCD monitors. The text terminals now
support 80 or 126 columns of clear, crisp text display with no aliasing, on both
LCD and CRT monitors.
Updated models are the ADDS 4000/260 LF and ADDS 4000/260 LFC (download
datasheet PDF) and ADDS 3153 LF (download
datasheet PDF). Previously, these models supported 80 columns of text on
LCDs, and 80 or 132 columns on CRTs. They now support both 80 and 126 columns on
both LCDs and CRTs. The change is effective 1 August 2011.
Littlefoot text terminals are designed for maximum flexibility, allowing
customers to choose their own standard or custom monitors with size, quality and
special features to fit the application. Extremely compact and reliable,
Littlefoot text terminals are ideal for transaction-oriented environments such
as fast food restaurants, retail counters, bank teller windows and rental car
counters.
“With the additional display columns, Littlefoot text terminal users now have
more options to take full advantage of LCD monitors,” said Michael Allen,
president of Boundless Technologies. “Through ongoing support of the Boundless
product line, we enable customers to expand and update their mainframe-based
systems that remain secure, stable, and continue to meet their networked
computing needs.”
The ADDS 4000/260 LF and LFC (monochrome or color) is a replacement for Wyse
terminals and the ADDS 3153 LF is a replacement for the IBM 3151 and IBM 3153
terminals. They include terminal emulation sets for a wide range of other
terminals. For details visit
