OK, I don't know what the "Fortune Systems terminal" is, but being a

From what I could find on google it looks like
they were satellite
workstations for the Fortune 32:16? That looks like a pretty
cool
micro for 1982.
Yeah, the subject of FS came up a few months ago. I wrote the firmware for
their B&W terminal, which is where the NAPLPS and Videotex memories come
from. FS had decent enough hardware but a very screwy and hostile method
of deploying software. It was their undoing.
