Someone asked about Latin-1 terminals, and I responded that
I thought the AT&T 730 supported it.  As it turns out, we
have an AT&T 730 (bitmap terminal) and we have verified it
does indeed support Latin-1. It will display 8 bit characters,
but to type them in you need the special 102-key keyboard
(which is not the default). It uses the DEC VT200 COMPOSE
sequences.
For those unfamiliar with the issue, Latin-1 is an 8 bit
code sequence that looks like ASCII in the low order 128
chars, but adds a variety of accented characters commonly
used in Western Europe in the upper 128.
