VT100's

I'm curious how it's "not perfect". I've had real VT-100s (VT-101s, VT102s...) for quite some time, but because of partial compatibility with other systems (RX50s along with memory map differences) I was never big on running a Rainbow. These days, though, I'm interested in them as CP/M boxes more than running DOS, just because it's trivial to set up a white box to run DOS but there aren't that many kinds of CP/M machines after the S-100 era. So a single box that is itself a decent VT-100 and runs CP/M is suddenly worth some desk space. And because it's my focus, the first thing I want to run on any CP/M box is going to be text adventures (Infocom and Scott Adams for certain). -ethan P.S. - and the same line of reasoning has the VT-180 on my radar but I've never seen one go by close enough or cheap enough to jump on.
