Cadmus is still around. Cadmus was only the name of the System, the
company that made these boxes is the Munich, W.Germany based Company
PCS (owned by Mannesmann). Your System is a VERY old one (Probably V.1).

I don't have a address right here, but if your interested, I probably
can come up with something. Send me email.

In Germany these machines (and their predecessors) are (have been ?)
very popular in the universities. They also were known to be quite
buggy (might have changed).

Hope that helps
