MUPID

The MUPID was an early home computer like system (1981-1983) designed and invented by Hermann Maurer for the University of Graz[1] to be used as a Bildschirmtext terminal, but it was also capable of being used as a stand alone computer.[2] At the time it excelled in having advanced color graphic capabilities.[3] It was followed shortly by the Mupid 2.[4] A card for older IBM-PC's with an ISA slot was developed that gave a PC the same graphics capabilities as a Mupid.[5]
