I'm looking into the WAITS operating system.  It had a device to attach
a handful of III vector displays.  There's another device to attach a
Data Disc memory with 32 raster graphics channels.  The video switch can
route those and 7 analogue inputs to any of 64 displays.

So this is clearly an example of a configuration with existing software
to drive multiple displays.

Having said that, in this particular case it doesn't seem useful to have
SIMH open dozens of windows.  I would rather work with something
analogous to the TMXR serial lines, and have external GUI software
connect through the network.
