Phototypesetters
That might be the case for most CRT based phototypesetters, but may I
direct the groups attention to:
<http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/202/> (Specifically to this YouTube
video linked on that page: <https://youtu.be/CVxeuwlvf8w>)
The page, and papers/videos thereon discuss the "jailbreaking" (to use
the modern term) of the Linotron 202 phototypesetter at Bell Labs by
Joe Condon, Brian Kernighan, and Ken Thompson in 1979. (What does all
this have to do with SIMH? Well, the Linotron 202 was controlled by a
PDP-11 running UNIX.)
Well, no surprise that BK and KT were involved in this sort
of escapade! Totally in character!
