Its control codes and escape sequences still form the basis of the <b>xterm</b> set and of the <b>ANSI</b> or <b>IBM PC</b> standards. <br/><br/> VT100 compatibility is still provided by most terminal emulators. All terminals that came after the VT100 (various VT1xx models as well as numerous competitors models) were able to emulate their ancestor, although they offered new features in addition to what the VT100 could do. <br/><br/> In 1982, DEC launched the VT-180. It was a VT-100 terminal with a Z80 extra board and an external floppy drive unit allowing to run CP/M OS and programs. <br/><br/></p><img src="/media/history/images/timeline_1178_vt100_2.jpg"/>
