It was the first DEC terminal to implement ReGIS graphics (predating the VT125). The color attributes are quite bizarre - the color cell boundaries are not the same as the char- acter cell boundaries, so if you switch colors, you may have half of a character being one color and half another. It has Microsoft ROM BASIC in it as well. We tossed a few dozen of these in the trash earlier this year after an unsuccessful attempt to find them new homes.
