In my college days we had a Harris S200/7 driving this terminal. We used
Fortran and the supplied Plot10 library.
I'm fresh out of both of these now so will have to settle for something
else driving this critter.
I had a stray though about driving this terminal with a Tandy Model 100...

On the hardware side, these Tektronix vector terminals are standard RS232
devices, and will link to just about anything. On the software side, they
respond t oa well-documented command set (I must have the info somewhere
if you can't find it on the web).
I've seen them used with PDP11s and VAXen. I am not sure if they were
driven by a standard library of routines to do things like draw lines, or
whether special software was written for every application which
generated the appropriate characters to send to the terminal.
I'd be suprised if they weren't used with other minis as well...
