As I recall it
was connected
to the controller board in the VAX via a fibre optic cable.
That was the VS-100, which is of historical interest because it was
was what the X Window system was developed on.
GIGIs are raster termials using the REGIS command set.
"REGIS graphics GIGI" turns up a few interesting google hits.
