I would like to see a comparison of the Firepro with the IBM 5080 which was in a 2 Drawer separate unit and required a box in the computer room also.:

IBM 5080 GRAPHICS SYSTEM FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CAD/CAM, DATA, AND ENGINEERING/SCIENTIFIC GRAPHICS

Vintage late 1980's and was about $100,000+ per work station.
