Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab - RasterOps Disk based system ca. 1969. MIT had one about the same time. The "space cadet" keyboards were an outgrowth of being able to put ANY character you could design to the screen. Bunker Ramo had a display they built for the Army powered by an IBM 1401, ca 1966. That probably doesn't count, since it didn't lead to commercial (consumer) stuff. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)
