The Jerq was the original name for the 68K machines hand-made by Bart. The name, originally coined for a fun demo of the Three Rivers Perq by folks at Lucasfilm, was borrowed with permission by us but was considered unsuitable by Sam Morgan as we reached out to make some industrially, by a company (something Atlantic) on Long Island. So "Blit" was coined. The Blit name later stuck unofficially to the DMD-5620, which was made by Teletype and, after some upheavals, had a Western Electric BellMac 32000 CPU.

If 5620s were called Jerqs, it was an accident. All the software with that name would be for the original, Locanthi-built and -designed 68K machines.

The sequence is thus Jerq, Blit, DMD-5620. DMD stood for dot-mapped rather than bit-mapped, but I never understood why. It seemed a category error to me.
