The original Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Western Research Laboratory (WRL) technote (TN)
WRL-TN-13 "Characterization of Organic Illumination Systems" April 1989

Of course, those folks didn't fork around; they plugged in directly.
(Compaq bought DEC in 1998, killed the Alpha 64bit RISC microprocessor, and sold off to HP in 2000. The internal identifier for the Alpha processors were "EV-n"; EV for "Electric Vlasic" (see WRL-TN-13) and n for the generation. The 21064 was EV-4, 21164 EV-5, 21264 EV-6, 21364 would have been EV-8, and so on. EV-3 was internal protoype only. Letters appended to the chip number (21064a, 21264a) implied a speed bump or additions to the instruction set. numbers appended to the EV implied a process change (finer lines, improved resolution in the photomask); e.g., EV-45 was EV-4 built with EV-5 processing, EV-56, EV-68))
