The first time I saw a 4114 (it was in the engineering part of building 63), it was running Asteroids.
I was responsible for 4107 Option CX, a field-installable board that enabled IBM 3270 emulation. I did the hardware and board firmware, Steve Houchin did the terminal firmware. The 4107 CX board design was licensed from Digital Communication Associates and was basically a Tek layout of their IRMA card.
