Many years ago, I took one of the 20ma current loop options and added
a DPDT switch to it, the four wires from the switch snaked to a piece
of a two-sided card which slid into the stp slot of the VT100. With
the 'card' (only two fingers wide) inserted in the stp slot, the switch
allowed me to switch between the EIA connector on the back of the VT100
and the 20ma current loop connector...
I still have the modified option...
