Graphics displays are very old and I suspect that they
go back to the very
early digital computer days in the form of a simple x-y vector display on
an oscilloscope.
VT-11 (I think) and HP 1350A/1351A drove X-Y displays, yes.
But I think you guys missed the point...I wasn't asking for what is
the earliest known graphics display output device; I already know
about Whirlwind and SAGE.
I know I'm not the only one with graphical display output devices in
my collection.
What's the oldest graphical display output device in your collection?
