Bart and I developed it (him largely hardware, me entirely software)
within Research. Leaving out a lot of detail, when it was time to
commercialize it, Teletype came in and studied it. They they made a
bunch. Later, they were pressured to convert it from 68000 to
BellMac32. But fundamentally it's a Research artifact.

Or was this terminal pure Bell Labs?
