The ISC 8001 19" got lots of service in
industrial control rooms.
Several companies rebadged it (USDATA, Dynapro, Allen Bradley). With
character graphics and a special ISA character set it did extremely
well in fast screen updates and animation. (Think valves and pipes
turning red/green, tanks filling up, etc.) Impressive for a 2MHz
8080.
I've seen several outfits on the web who offer servicing and repair
for the 8001, so they must still be around. It seems that it found
use both in control rooms, and apparently, in early CAD use.
Perhaps a few phone calls to said outfits might yield one sitting
around in a back room.
