AT&T Gemini-100 electronic blackboard - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Joe,

I saw your post (below) about the Gemini electronic blackboard on a
message board.  I'm interested in the Gemini; do you still have the unit
or any of its literature?

Thanks,

Owais

   I finished taking one apart that had an embedded HP 1000 computer in
it.
The thing was HUGE! The tablet was about 6 by 8 FEET. IIRC it was made
by
Giesler Scientific and it used a high resolution Advin color monitor.
I'm
not sure but I think it dated from about 1974.

 When was the first digitizing tablet invented?  
I have in front of me a manual for a Ferranti digitiser.  It was about
A0 in size (4 feet by 5 feet approx) with a crosshair "puck".  Some
of the documents refer to the digitiser as a "Bendix", but I don't
know why.

The dates on the schematics are 1970.
