There was also a series of glass teletypes, similar to the vt-52 from 
dec but with 9" tubes that used the 6809.  It was supposed to be able 
to handle 2400 baud back from the cpu, but couldn't sustain it for 
more than 20, or the first linefeed (scrolling the display killed it) 
characters without some controls.  ISTR it was a 3M concoction of 
some kind.  I could also outtype the keyboard!
