Well, based on the fact that the terminal I've got says it's a either a
VT100 or a VT101, I'd say pull the back options plate off (only takes 4
screws) if you see a 4 slot backplane in there you're probably good to go.
If not, your out of luck.

I opened up the second of the three terminals this morning when I was
getting some stuff ready to go into storage. It doens't have the
backplane. I've got one more I'll have to check.
