KV8i, Us Navy was a big customer up til about 1971.
I could be wrong, but I think Murray Rueben was the lead designer, and
I think Dick Sogge had soemthing to do with it.
We were going to do on on the /e, an omnibus design, but that was
killed by Marketing in mid 70/

I found somewhat fascinating pictures in a PDP8
small computer handbook. It is a KV graphics system. According to the book it was used to
design new computer circuit boards. So I got very curious to that KV system. I found a
maintenance manual about the system. It even had a joystick! I wonder if any of that PCB
software has been rescued?

Ah, yes, a Tektronix 611 direct view storage tube! We

used those on the Artronix PC, they were the only way a
12-bit computer could keep a complex display on the screen
without horrible flicker.
