The TEK 4051 is a Graphics Terminal with BASIC in ROM, It used the Motorola 6800
microprocessor. I did a Wikipedia article on the MC6800 and illustrated it with several
old advertisements including the first M6800 ad and a Tektronix 4051 ad.
Here is the article

And here is the TEK 4051 ad.

Thanks for that history of the development of the 6800, Michael.
While I had some prior hardware exposure to the 8080 and Z80 in an
IMSAI, the 6800 was the first microproc I really became acquainted with
and programmed at the instruction/assembly level.

On a nearly related note, the TEWS (Tactical Electronic Warfare System) in
the F-15 fighter is/was built around a 6800B.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
