This was a rather neat little graphics terminal (CRT).
You could draw all
sorts of shapes on the screen by issuing commands such as "Square
0,0,10,10" or "Line 4,4,20,20", etc.
IIRC the 4105 used the Hitachi HD63484 graphics processor, maybe the 4107
used the same thing? If so it was a pretty cool chip, if a bit slow, with
all kinds of fancy commands for lines and circles and rectangles and region
fill etc. It was used on some of the early Number 9 boards too.
