Yep. That's exactly it. Also, the CIT-101 has a built-in clock you
can see in the
first setup screen. You send a (different) documented string to the terminal
(typically on login), and for a quick desk clock, tap the SETUP key once to
see the tab setup and a digital clock in the upper right corner of the screen.
Tap SETUP again and you are back at your OS's prompt.
I'm amazed to see so many references to them all at once, but I'd rank them
right up there with Wyse terminals as good VT-100 clones.
Somewhere, I have some paperwork for how much we (Software Results Corp)
paid for them in the early 1980s, but I want to say between $1200 and $1600,
*each* (the higher price may be what we paid for real DEC terminals).
