I didn't see any Calcomp System 25
Workstations in your collection.
The RICM has LOTS of them.
I wasn't aware of these systems. ?According to Computerworld, Calcomp
sold off the division after having an installed base of only 800 units
in order to avoid competing with its own peripherals customers.

This seems to be a workstation introduced in 1984. ?What kind of
graphics environment did it have? ?1984 is too early for X11 and also
I think too early for X10.
The RICM has LOTs of documentation on the systems, but have not
powered one on yet.
