Any docs around on that, Al? I thought the VS-100 was vector based
and not raster based?
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.
I should have looked at manx first... I'm still in the habit of
thinking "if google doesn't find it, it probably doesn't exist", which
I'm finding is a false assumption for lots of cctalk era tech.
