Looking for info on Calcomp Sanders box

The typical CAD system from 1967 - 1987 consisted of: ASCII terminal + Graphics Tube & CPU Subsystem + an entire other Minicomputer Frequenty the Graphics subsystems were quite elaborate, competing in complexity with the main CPU. I don't know anything in particular about this one. Right manufacturer for a CAD tube as were Evan&Sutherland,Lexidata,Tektronix, Ramtek,Megatek. (Incidentally, searching for CALCOMP SANDERS on Hotbot will yield some, uhhh, rather odd results, such as: http://masterstech-home.com/The_Kitchen/Recipes/Dessert_Recipes/EggMousse.ht ml JEA -----Original Message----- From: CLASSICCMP-owner(a)u.washington.edu [mailto:CLASSICCMP-owner@u.washington.edu]On Behalf Of Enrico Badella Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 6:16 PM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Looking for info on Calcomp Sanders box I picked up one of these CALCOMP SANDERS Model: 4518TW System: 89953 Serial: X106944 Looks like a CAD machine but has only a floppy and apparently not HD. Could it be just a graphic terminal that connects to an IBM mainframe using 3270 for applications like CADAM and KATIA?
