	While he may very well have been joking, I believe that
something called a gould (roughly the size of the 750 itself, and then
some) was common among people with deep pockets.  The company I work
for marketed software for VMS on the 11/750 that used this framebuffer
to display satallite imagry.  Needless to say, I don't think we
support it any more.

	I wouldn't be particularly surprised if PDP11's and the like
had framebuffers available for them.  There were also quite a number
of very-high-speed-terminal type devices that were bitmapped ... that
I have seen where piles of old hardware tend to collect.

Dave.
