<A VT125 is a STP board that is also called a Graphics processor board.
It's not a STP board. the stp board is a little bord used to interconnet
the two or (technically) a printer buffer board.
The VT125 option ( have two) is a double board set that adds in like the
VT180 card and is the same size overall as a VT100 card (that also has to be
present).
I know, the engineering group I was with was formerly the TERMINALS and
PRINTERS people at DEC. Later it became two distinct groups.
I still keep a hybrid VT100 that has VT125, VT180 and PDT11/130(the VT180
card and the PDT can be swapped in a moment as both would cook the PS nor
woth the fit!) in the same case. Definately not factory but it allows me
to have something that is a genuine VT100 for those times when nothing else
will do.
I think Bernie, me and a few odd people had real VT185s. They were scarce.
The reason was the interconnect card (different STP card than plain
VT100/VT180) was needed and I don't think it ever got to production.
