Cool pic, thanks for posting that. It's so hard to
find any information
(pictures, documentation) about old Intergraph equipment. It seems as if
the company over the years had worked very hard to ensure they were more or
less redacted from history. The only Intergraph you can see, is that which
exists today :(
I don't think there's any specific desire on their part to be excised
from history, it's just another example of one of
those companies
whose heyday was in the pre-internet era and when the internet
became
dominant, the company was focused entirely on it's software business
and didn't do hardware anymore. Intergraph was always big in the
government arena for things like GIS and large-scale CAD (think
aircraft carriers instead of engine blocks).
