All this makes me realise just how much Tek knowledge
seems to be a lost - I
mean, the earlier Tek terminals seem to be pretty well understood, but then
most of the hardware, software and docs from the later years has just vanished.
It would be nice to try to get this documentation and software archived, if it
can still be found. There were a couple of generations of workstations, including
the obscure AI workstation that supported Lisp and Smalltalk. A friend of mine
worked on the 32000 based system before moving down to the valley.
The development systems that had their own OS, then a port of Unix called Tnix.
And, all the DC300 based 405x software..
