The Rational R1000 was initially both a computer system and a software system, as can be seen here: http://datamuseum.dk/wiki/Rational/R1000s400 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nigwil (talk • contribs) 06:07, 29 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes, and I think the company name might have been "Rational Machines" when it was released? W Nowicki (talk) 17:47, 4 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

The R1000s were always computer systems with attached terminals! The picture on the page is of a Facit terminal, which was fairly dumb. It had an extra row of "function" keys; you could issue complicated Emacs-style commands with one keystroke. There was a neat overlay that saved you having to remember which key was which! You could also use a Sun workstation. Simonjwright (talk) 08:33, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
