    I think it was made by Ground Control.  Is it in a beige box with
    black/brown panels?
    
    If it does connect to the user port I doubt the Acorn ATS rom would
work
    with it, as the Acorn unit connected
    to the 1Mhz bus.  It may have been a modified version of the ATS
rom.
    
    The Ground Control unit was auto-tuning, whereas the Acorn unit had
to be
    manually tuned (and a pain it was too.)
    
    If I remember correctly, the same unit could also be connected to
the
    Archimedes using a cable which plugged
    into one of the backplane slots.

    I have a Universal Teletext Adaptor. It requires a program called
TTX to
    run it. It apparently is compatible with the ATS ROM but there are
no
    tuning dials on it and so I assume the tuning must be done through
the
    TTX software.
    
    It also requires a lead to run from a five pin DIN on the unit to
the
    User Port. Has anyone heard of this Teletext adaptor? Does anyone
have
    the required software or lead/info for constructing a lead?
