out of luck here i think. 4014 are *real* graphix terminals, you know
green lines on green screens also know as DVST. ie really a big 'scope.
what you can do with 4014 is use it to interface to almost any graphics
application. most people supply a Tek4010/14 driver with their stuff.
Capabilities are 4096x4096 'world', graphics drawn by lines ie moveto
and draw commands, three character sizes (largish, small and ******
small). any amendments to the on screen graphics require erase and
complete resend of data. coordinates are encoded in neat format suitable
for all 7 bit data lines. multiple line styles (dot dash etc), and many
more. the 4014 was once the de facto grahpics terminal and is still in
use (including emulators) today. well worth learning about.
