The DT-100 = a relabeled Wyse 75.
The PT-210 was a sort of Silent 700 clone thermal hardcopy terminal
with acoustic modem.
The Vidtex terminal was basically a CoCo 1 with Vidtex ROM instead of
BASIC and a 300 bps modem built in.

The DT-1 was basically a terminal built into a diskless Model III
case painted white instead of black. I forget which all
terminals it emulated besides Adds 25, they were all terminals
featuring the magic cookie reverse video standout glitch. Good
bookkeeping terminals but they sucked for Scripsit-16.
