Looking at original scanned documentation, the name was usually written 'IMLAC', but on rare occasion on finds 'Imlac' (e.g. in the [http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/imlac/PDS-1_TechnicalMan.pdf IMLAC PDS-1 Programmable Display System Preliminary Technical and Operator Manual], pg. 5 (of the PDF). I'm going to go with 'IMLAC', since that is what's most common in the original documentation.

Storage devices
I did have paper tape. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 18:39, 19 December 2018 (CET)
- Right, but that's not mass storage (which means disk or tapes). None of the ones at Tech Sq had that, or paper tape (although I might be wrong about the latter), although I see online that they did make disks available later - they even had a FORTRAN compiler than ran on them!

Missing links in 'Screen Addressing in FREEWAY'
'Screen Addressing in FREEWAY' seems to have links in it, but they didn't work in the copy on GitHub. I found some copies of the 'IMLAC PDS-1D Programming Guide', and added them to 'External links' here, but I couldn't figure out what the later links were supposed to go to.
