I have some Docs for the 4107/9, nothing
on-line (except some captured help menus).
The 4107 was a 4105 with a (small) display
list in RAM.

The 4105 had a real extensive 2D graphics
library built in as ROMs, making it a sort of
super smart (for the 80's) color terminal.
It's graphics weren't SGI fast (also the SGI is
3D), but you had a lot of commands to work with
between you and your Host (especially for the
list-less 4105).

I think someone else mentioned (forward in time
of my catching up to the list) that the 4105 used a
special keyboard. That is right. If you want I can
bring my KB to the VCF east for you to try.

Someone mentioned 1024??? resolution.
Tek increased it to 4096, but you could only see
the resolution when you told it to zoom in first.
