vt100 & graphics

There were several of these cards. DEC eventually came out with their own
versions (starting with the GIGI and then the VT240, VT340, etc) I've seen
the GIGI called a VK100 but it isn't Vt100 compatible. Since 'Tek4010' was
the universal language of graphics at the time, this is the most emulation
mode. All my graphics terminals can do TEK4010 emulation to a greater or
lesser degree.
