I don't know why I never realized this before, but the Tektronix 4010
graphics terminal is implemented enitrely in SSI TTL logic and
contains no microprocessor. I guess that makes sense with it being
introduced in 1971, but it just suddenly hit me like a brick.
PS: anyone need a 4010 service manual online? I have one and just
noticed it hasn't been scanned on the net anywhere.

Ehm, all older Tektronix terminals (like the 4006, 4010, 4012, 4014, 4015)
are "discrete".

Hence the "duh". I should have figured this out, but it didn't dawn
