I saw something on someone's web site the other
day claiming that the
Tektronix 4027 was the first commercially available color raster
graphics terminal. The 4027 first appears in the 1979 Tektronix
catalog.
I know there were vector based systems that were displaying color
before that, but the question here is about raster based systems (i.e.
pixel, not vector based).
So the question becomes: was anyone else selling a raster color
graphics terminal before Tektronix in 1979?
I think ISC had one--the Compucolor PC was 1977. I'm sure there were
others.
