The Prime PT45 is based on a BeeHive DM30 with a few microcode tweeks (just enough to scree the customers). They stopped selling it 3 or 4 years ago. It was replaced with the PST100 which is claimed to be ansi like. The PST100 was replaced with the PT200 with is also sort of ansi like. There is a terminal emulator for the PC which can emulate the PT45, PST100, PT200, and other more popular terminals from Pacer Software, (619) 454-0565 in La Jolla, California. I recall that Prime Emacs had drivers in it for a bunch of other terminals (vt100, vt52, H19, etc) but these drivers were not as powerfull (read fast) as the ones imbedded for the Prime supplied terminals. Prime supplies a fancy key binding for their terminals which is imbedded within Emacs. It would be possible to build a fancy binding using one of the less powerful terminal drivers, it may not be as fast... Prime has no termcap facility for everyday programs. There is a package for block mode/data entry applications but its not useful for interactive programs like Emacs. Hope this helps.
