I suppose this question is best directed at Rob or Doug, but just might as well ask at large: Given AT&T's ownership of Teletype and the involvement (AFAIK) of Teletype with other WECo CRT terminals (e.g. Dataspeed 40 models), was there any direct involvement of folks from the Teletype side of things in the R&D on the Jerq/Blit/DMD? Or was this terminal pure Bell Labs?

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.
