a system like a VAX-11/780 to connect it to.
There were quite a few programs written for the GIGI in the TOPS-20 world.
As I recall it was connected
to the controller board in the VAX via a fibre optic cable.
I don't recall any terminal that was optically coupled to a host
controller board. My recollection is that the GIGI is an 8085-based
character/ReGIS graphics terminal with an ordinary serial port.
