Later models used a 8085 The biggest hardware innovation was smooth vertical scrolling, and switching between 80 and 132 columns. I remembered wondering if they got the idea from a letter to the editor in either Byte or Dr. Dobbs where someone wondered why video terminals scrolled a whole character at a time. I've never liked the feature, because when you look away from the screen the room looks like it's moving downward. Maybe that's why other company's terminals let you set the smooth scroll rate.
