So I got very curious to that KV system. I found a maintenance manual about the system. It even had a joystick! I wonder if any of that PCB software has been rescued?

used those on the Artronix PC, they were the only way a 
12-bit computer could keep a complex display on the screen 
without horrible flicker.
