DEC did have an implementation of GKS for VMS and had the ability for users to write their own GKS drivers for custom hardware, which would give you a portable API that could use the hardware if such a driver were available. This card's resolution is comparable to a mid 80s Tektronix raster terminal, such as the Tek 4207 or Tek 4205. The terminals have a much more sophisticated command set than this card, however. <https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Tektronix_4205> <https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Tektronix_4207> -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals-wiki.org> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> Legalize Adulthood!
