Question about Personal IRIS

I am interested in the performance numbers of the Personal IRIS.
In the "Periodic Table of the IRIS's" dated April 2, 1990 the
following numbers are given:
Personal IRIS 4D/25G has performance of 5.1K Polygons/sec.
Personal IRIS 4D/25TG has performance of 24K Polygons/sec.
According to the comments, "polygon" numbers are for 10x10 (100pixel),
full 24-bit color, Lighted, Gouraud-shaded, Z-buffered polygons with
arbitrary orientation.
What I want to know is:
1. What's the meaning of "Lighted"? Is the lighting calculation at
each vertex pre-computed or computed at display time?
2. How many and what kind of light sources are used? What
reflection model is used?
Any information is helpful. Please e-mail or post to this group.
Thanks in advance.
