DisplayWrite was the little cousin to the software running on the IBM 6580 Displaywriter. Does the monitor styling look familiar? It used an 8086 with a minimum 160K of DRAM--and could run CP/M-86 as well as UCSD Pascal.
The interesting thing about the DisplayWriter is that it was prety much useless without the printer for producing documents. Instead of a smart program and a dumb printer, it used not-so-smart software and a smart printer.
And it used EBCDIC.
