VT101 & VT102
Cost reduced, unexpandable VT100s. The VT102 has the
advanced video
option; the VT101 doesn't.
There were more differences than just that though. The built-in AVO is a nice touch, but
from what I've read, there was a slight protocol change as well. AFAIK, the AVO just
added the extra RAM that the terminal needed to be able to store and display more than
about 1,920 characters at once. (80*24=1920, 1920 characters/132 columns = about 14.5, it
would be silly to display half a line, so 14 lines.)
