Hi,
does anyone have a manual for one of these? It says graphics terminal on it,
is it a vector terminal like the Tektronix units, or some other device?
I think it's a raster-scanned terminal, with a bitmap-like graphics board
in it. Did HP ever make a vector _terminal_ (as opposed to a vector
display device, they certainly made those).
A useful site for older large (not handheld) HP machines is
http://www.hpmuseum.net. The chap who runs it has a lot more manuals
scanned that he can't host on his site, and he seems to approve of anyone
who wants to preserve HP machines. He's provided me with information by
private e-mail in the past.
Worth asking him anyway (his contact details are on the site somewhere).
