      ebay link here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorola-vintage-police-EMS-mobile-data-terminal-9100-T-1980s/223721091406 … My favorite feature is the under-lighting that illuminates the keyboard so you can type at night.pic.twitter.com/6V4xugsWW8

      Here's an example of the screen in action. It's running something windows-based but I'm not sure what the CPU inside the thing is. I have the MDT 9100-386, but I think this one runs an 8086 or 80286.pic.twitter.com/JUrfWmJbG8

      And the profile. It's got this bendy-base (that was missing on mine) and the radio unit. (Mine was damaged so I removed it)pic.twitter.com/fxfqFYW8Ib

      OK, this page says that MDT-9100-T and the MDT-9100-386 are both 386s, but the -386 adds SCSI. https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/motorola/mdt9100/index.htm …

      also, if seeing this makes you go "SCMODS!", that's an earlier model, the Motorola D-1118 https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/motorola/d1118/index.htm …pic.twitter.com/KHXXTP0ExY

      BTW, both of these use the MDT-4800 protocol, which Motorola sold to police departments as "secure". It's not, at all, it's just a bit-interleaved ASCII stream. So it was publicly known how to monitor police communications since the mid-90s.

      The same protocol was used (and technically still is) with DataTAC/ARDIS, a Motorola network that used the same frequencies to send emails on the go, since the mid-90s. You could get a DataTAC card for your Apple Newton, for example.

      they were also not encrypted. So the software that could decode police messages would also pick up emails.

      And also check out the thing that got me into this lovely computer: @qrs's work on one, where they figured out how to talk to the screen directly, so they could use it as a display unit for a modern PC. https://trmm.net/MDT9100 pic.twitter.com/eVfPD0kca3

      Holy shit, this rules. I have a 9100-T and now I know what I’m doing with it.
