8275 - think Wyse 50 terminals. Doesn't use a dedicated buffer, but
DMA to do buffer refresh. Attributes (e.g. bold, blink, etc.) use a
space on the screen, unless "invisible" mode is enabled, in which
case each line occupies a variable number of bytes and a maximum of
16 attributes per line. 7-bit character set.
I learned to hate the bloody thing.
