Even the IBM Displaywriter used EBCDIC--and that was

I encountered 5.25" 96TPI DSDD diskettes that were purported to be from a
Seiko 8610 that were full of EBCDIC. But, that could always be the fault
of the user who sent them to me, and they might have been something as
simple as images from a terminal session?
Note: I have NO IDEA what a Seiko 8610 is. I only dealt with the
diskettes.
