For oddball VTs, there is the VT71/t (and its nearly identical twin the VT72)
which is an LSI-11 based full file text editing terminal for the Typeset-11
product line. Also the VT20, the predecessor of that one (perhaps a prototype
-- I don't know how many shipped). That uses an 11/05 as the engine, which
drives two independent displays in VT05 cabinets. I've only seen it once, in
the Typeset-11 development lab, tucked in a corner (not running).
BTW, the VT71 is an example of a MOP booted device, loaded via an async serial
line.
