Wow, an actual VT-100! Have you tried "smooth scrolling" (aka "barf
mode")? AFAIK none of the emulators (or "VT100-compatible" iron, for
that matter) ever bothered to replicate this (for which hackers prone to
motion sickness remain grateful 🤢)
/Frew
P.S.: Fond memories of the USENIX where Rob Pike, in a talk describing
the Blit, announced "and [pause] it is NOT VT-100 compatible", to
thunderous applause. A lot of termcap tweakers in that audience...
