The ISC 8001 19" got lots of service in
industrial control rooms. ?Several companies rebadged it (USDATA, Dynapro, Allen Bradley).
?With character graphics and a special ISA character set it did extremely well in fast
screen updates and animation. ?(Think valves and pipes turning red/green, tanks filling
up, etc.) ?Impressive for a 2MHz 8080.
Now that you mention that, I think Control Data had some early color
raster systems for industrial controls, I think before 1979. I think
they were semicustom jobs.
