View source for Turtle Terminal 2500

The '''Turtle Terminal 2500''' was a 16-bit [[minicomputer]] [[terminal]] designed by Marvin Minsky; it was initially just named the '2500' (for the target price). It had dual [[display]]s: one for text, and another for [[vector graphics]].  It was meant to run [[microcode]] to implement [[Logo]], but the size of the [[firmware]] [[RAM]] precluded that.  Danny Hillis wrote firmware to emulate a [[Datapoint 3300]] terminal, with additional commands for turtle graphics.  2500's were typically attached to a [[host]] running Logo: the [[SITS]] [[PDP-11/45]], an [[LSI-11]] based machine called the [[General Turtle]] 3500, or [[Unix]].
