The Norwegian company A/S Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (“weapons factory”) was founded in 1814, and is now known as Kongsberg Gruppen. In the 1970s they made a computer system called KS-500 (though their history page (archive link) doesn't mention it). I think they also made terminals, but I haven't found any details. The list below, from Manx, shows all the KS-500 publications I know about.
