It was manufactured by Lear Siegler and has a 12-inch screen displaying 12 or 24 lines of 80 characters. It set a new industry low single unit price of $995. its "dumb terminal" nickname came from some of the original trade publication advertisements." However, we have found that there were even earlier type of terminals that were even more "Dumb" than this ADM-3A. One of the...
