A reasonable assumption.  Actually, the first commercially available DMP
debuted in 1968 by the Oki (later Okidata) company out of Japan.  It wasn't
until 1970 when DEC came out with their first.

I used an ASR-33 back when I was in my college's amateur radio club.  I loved
that thing.  When you typed on it, you felt like you were doing something
special.
