DEC VT10x and VR201s (was Re: DEC Rainbow)

...
   review claimed
the VR201 was compatable with the VT102.  
 Considering the former is a composite mono monitor and the latter is a 
 terminal, that's just impossible. 
I seem to recall that many/most VT100's had composite video out - mine
do - and this was frequently used in the classroom to drive a larger
monitor, or distributed to several monitors/terminals throughout the
classroom. This way my Data Structures professor could show us *exactly*
what she was on about.

Perhaps there was an adapter to use the VR201 in this manner? I can
remember staring at the displays, but not what was rendering them. I
know she was working on a VT100, but can't "see" the slaved monitor in
memory...
