I don’t know much about this Inforex terminal, but I know that even on a screen so small, an error that says only ERROR is not an excuse.pic.twitter.com/KHcMKPChoG

Mohawk Data Sciences System 2400 (1973) had a very pretty green screen and if that keyboard is permanently slanted, I am in love.pic.twitter.com/vNxWKbr9ov
MicroOffice RoadRunner – “the five-pound computer aimed at the mobile professional” from 1983. Its display was 80 characters, but only 8 lines. (Love the cartridge indentations below the display.)pic.twitter.com/fg98h2itrj
VYDEC 2000 word processor! A glorious 12-line display (*)! (*) fine print: “4 lines of status and command areas”pic.twitter.com/DGEiBCnh6T
TI Insight Series 10 was introduced in 1981. It had 40×24 characters, on a 5½" “swivel” CRT screen.pic.twitter.com/KZsmPGuadL
The IBM 1015 Inquiry Display terminal was relatively similar spec-wise – a 5½" display of 40×30 characters – but much, much older. The screen still looked like a radar tube, betraying its origins. “Erasure time is 6 seconds.” (Be still, my heart.)pic.twitter.com/au8lX99xrb
Up until a point, there were so few characters in displays, that you could just brag about the number. This red Burroughs “SELF-SCAN” display is a “256-character display” (today, we would call it 32×8 instead).pic.twitter.com/7zyT6natx8
(At some point many years later, I saw a mention of a 1920-character display. I bet you can figure out what common text resolution this meant.)
Or this Owens-Illinois terminal (on the right) made things even more complicated. It was advertised as a “64×256 lines at 33.3 lines per inch” – but it’s 40×6 characters, it seems.pic.twitter.com/f6d2LBJkjV
Is it a vector display? It looks like it, which would explain why the description is so confusing.
Don’t really have a conventional character or resolution limit, instead they have limits to their XY accuracy and buffer size
