When I joined DEC in September, 1966, I shared an office with Mauritz
Frederickson, who was working on a "batch processing function" for the
PDP-6 at the time. This used PTYs, so they predate the KA-10.

I can still recall the day I dicovered that typing "TALK PTY" to the
PDP-6 Monitor caused a crash.  ;-)

This was late 1966 or early 1967.
