I don't know if anything's online, but the old "double
eyeball" 
operator's console for the Control Data 6000 series used an
RLC 
network to generate the complete set of 63 displayable
characters.  
The display technology was vector with refresh provided by a
PPU 
(usually PP1) rewriting the entire contents of both screens

periodically.

Cheers,
Chuck
