OK, that's different than the compucolor I shown

and I'd say yeah that qualifies as a terminal because they're
specficially marketing it as such and then including options to
upgrade it to local processing, i.e. home computer.
I remember getting one of these in for evaluation about 1979. Not
very fast. We were considering adding color graphics in our
offerings catalog. At about $1000 OEM prices, it was somewhat
attractive. Marketing sent their people out to talk to existing
customers. Most said they had no need for graphics, much less
color, so the idea was dropped.
I was trying to remember what the name was--I could remember the
keyboard (multicolored) quite vividly. All that came to mind was
"something"-color.
It was most decidely an RS-232C terminal. No disk drives, no way to
enter a program.
